Cockpit enclosure

One of our must-haves when cruising is a cockpit enclosure.  Crossing the open water on a cold night with water coming at you is a truly miserable experience.  We learned on Sanctuary that protection from wind and water makes you comfortable and more alert and way happier!  We went through a few iterations on Sanctuary so we had a good idea of exactly what we wanted on Blue Moon.  We had a full enclosure when we bought her but it wasn't adequately high and had some bad leak points.  Tim, Adam and the crew at Canvas Specialties spent a lot of time working with us, taking our notes, making their own and then custom fitting each piece to give us a wonderful and snug cockpit.  With their suggestion, we have a high-tech front window that is literally as clear as glass. Adam designed a way to fold it back and secure it when we want the ventilation.  Our friend, Suz, dubbed the first one our "tea room" and that is how we will always think of it, Suz's tea room.
