I will scan the few pics I have showing the enclosure and e-mail them to you. They are not too good because the side curtains are mostly off but I think you can get the idea. Access to the foredeck is around the corner of the dodger. You have to be a bit agile but heck, I'm 56 yrs. old (today) and do it regularly. There are 7 panels (not including the dodger. One large side panel, a smaller side panel aft, a quarter panel aft and a rear panel center then back to the aft side panel, etc. The nice thing is I have full standing headroom all the way to the companionway. You just step over the line locker and go down the steps. The bimini unzips from the dodger just aft of the companionway and can be removed. All the panels unzip individually and are rolled for storage. There is a leather wear strip at the aft edge of the bimini all the way across so that the sail cover or sail doesn't wear holes in the roof. It has been a good setup so far except the clear panels in the dodger are yellowing. The rest of the panels are almost as clear as day one. I think the cost was about $4000 but really don't remember. It was all custom fitted and the maker took forever but did a nice job. When everything is zipped up, the whole thing is as tight as a drum head. I later added a "diaper" to the tailgate so the bottom of the cockpit is tight too. During the winter it gets cold here and this allows us to use the boat by heating the cabin and leaving the companionway open so the heat rises. I can sit in the cockpit and read or work when it's 30° outside in a pair of shorts, no shoes and a T shirt.
