If you are looking for a boat that will keep you warm, dry and
comfortable going through a chop on a breezy day, that is not it.

The walk through windshield models come with a full standup top and
side curtains.
They claim you can run full speed with this top up so that should keep
the wife nice& warm during our short boating season. (4-5 months)
Dealer claims he uses his boat 6 months because of this feature.
(Also that little cover for the bow space)

full top.

Yes, full canvas will make a big difference with warm and dry. Boats
under 22 ft or so have a difficult time getting through a stiff chop
however.

He probably won't see stiff chop unless he decides to circumnavigate his
island.

I've sailed in waters that would have you hiding in the cabin with a
blanky over your head, SailorBoy.


Oscar was in the naaaaaveeee....cleaning toilets and scraping paint.
When the ocean got rough, he stuck his head in the toilet or the paint
bucket, whichever was closest.
