While I'm now pursuing side curtains...........additional thoughts about the cuddy.....
I'm finding that the cuddy actually doesn't get much of any water intrusion, except when / waves breach over the bow, or extreme volumes of spray going through rough seas.
So, thinking a velcrow...........yes velcrow..... matching blue canvas cover for the bow slider - that positions down as a simple cover when needed. May incorporate a swing arm that can tighten down across the front horizontal of the cover only - so any seas coming over the bow can't lift the cover off.
Working the engineering aspect with my curtain guy who's also a custom car restorer / re builder - rips out interiors, installs all custom etc.
Destroyer came up with a great idea how to collect and funnel water down if it DOES get in.
My cuddy is now such a nice dry clean master stateroom, I want to keep it that way.
