The begining..

BAYLINER CIERRA 2655

End of the year and starting out to to what I enjoy as a business in the new year..

The products I manufacture are all made to the highest standards and are made to completely fit each unique craft to it's own specifications..

This canopy consists of Two sets of frames.. One triple covering the front cockpit and seating area.. and a single giving height to the rear section.. All stabilised with upstanders and fitted to make use of height and width space..

The canopy is made in six basic sections..

From the cockpit screen to the rear of the cabin seats.. Zipped on section that covers the rear of the craft down to the back door with zipped sections for door and rear panel
Two sidepanels from side cockpit windscreen to the rear of the craft with a centre zip up to the roof divide enabling the rear section to be removed separately or rolled up and studded for access to craft.
The canopy can be used with cockpit roof and side panels on as a pram/spray hood..
With side panel sections removed leaving only the front cockpit roof section as a bimini cover
The wide cockpit screen in clear window material is zipped to allow access to the bow section of the craft.

The aim is to make all the windows as flat and crease free as possible. There are many canopy makers who cannot achieve this and windows are pulled in one direction or another and have a ripple effect that pulls the canopy at angles to the fittings.. It looks just bad.

The perfect fit is also achieved by making sure the canopy fits snugly to the frames holding it in place. Frames that do not follow the angles of the cockpit or are set too wide or too far back will not make a canopy look part of the craft.

Side panels must be exactly made. There is nothing worse than having a gap where the zipped sections meet or being so baggy that the wind and rain blow straight through creating wet upholstery that will eventually rot and need replaced..

The materials used should always be of marine quality or the whole need for a well fitted waterproof canopy will be pointless..
