First time on the water with the new stern seats and full enclosure







I went sailing with the enclosure up, head sail only.

Was quite strange sailing while being completely "Inside"

No sun, No cold breeze off the water unless I opened a window

I think its going to be a good summer for sailing

Cheers

Looking good The enclosures make the 's much sleeker than with just the bimini Ron.

Very nice. I am lusting after a full enclosure. Who did the fabrication/install? May I ask about the cost?

Beautiful!

Yep u will certainly enjoy the added comfort of the full enclosure & the exhilarating view the stern rail seats afford whether sitting on a slip or anchored & especially while heeled sailing whether on the low or high side as the Dowsar Stern rail seats r perched outboard on the Port & S/B aft stern which makes it great for shooting video,s as u r sitting right out there


I prefer my Persian Tweed Green tho
this vid shows u just how big the aft section of the Dowsar enclosure is mid section removed while sailing cutter rigged

Beautiful.
I've had one for years. It's a good place to let the losers smoke a cigar and have a scotch,which they can no longer afford,during poker nights at the docks.

I think Cranberry is a pretty nice color, myself.

Well Tom
One thing we all have in common colour regardless we all got that great comfort zone that the full enclosure allows us , it doubles the living space of our boats
I know G is gonna just luv it

Technically you cannot sail with a full enclosure, you can only motor with a full enclosure up. But it looks like a very professional job. Wow.

Beene said he sailed with a headsail only.

hate to burst ur bubble but I have , basically unzip the front zipper on the tact side to allow the mainsheet to go through & ur good , u have to peek out opposite side window to view mainsail shape , on a blow u,d want to remove the roof of the center section but u still get a lot of protection

just sayin that's all

Yeah, that would work. Or if you were to unzip something as Highlander suggests. I don't have a full enclosure, only a Bimini and Dodger. I guess I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need a full enclosure.

They have a lot of advantages if u live aboard a lot

I was only pointing this out because sailing with only a headsail, is still sailing
