Walk-through side panels enable easy access
SeaCanvas, Egg Harbor Township, N.J.
This project, which won a 2010 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the full exterior canvas powerboat (27 feet and up) category, called for the fabrication of a five-panel enclosure on a center console T-top boat. Track-to-track side windows unzip and roll up to a secured position under the top. The walk-through panels allow easy access forward by unzipping the outer zipper and releasing two Common Sense fasteners below the gunwale. This walk-through panel then snaps to the inside of the pipe work, allowing 360-degree movement around the console. The center window may be left in place as a windshield while removing the four other windows.
