Reply To: From sprayhood to fixed wheelhouse

Hi Nick,

Can't believe your sprayhood has finally bitten the dust – it's the end of an era 🙂

Would you prefer a solid one or rather a canvas one which you can fold down?

I think you will be hard pressed to make a light solid one. Don't forget it will
need plastic windows and to be rigid enough to act as a hand hold. At some point
you are also likely to end up standing on it just because it is there!

All the boats I have seen with solid lids tend to be heavy which isn't a problem for some.

I think your proposed method sounds good and yes I have tried the clingfilm and it worked.
Not a quick job but would last as long as the boat if done half decent.

Best regards, Steve

ps – nothing wrong with Blue sprayhoods !
