If you prefer an open bow area when cruising but wish to protect the well deck and front doors while off the boat a bow splash cover may answer your needs. A window in the cover will allow light through if you wish to leave the cover on while on board. The fitting of a bow splash means that the cover will probably have to be removed before the front doors can be opened.
We will be on our moorings at Pickering's Bridge on the Bridgewater Canal until spring 09 when we intend to repeat our attempt to get to Ireland for a couple of seasons of serious cruising. Having realised this year that woodwork and cruising are not compatible, we will be ceasing to make cratchboards when we leave our mooring so, if you wanted a cratch and board combination, then this will be the last winter to order one.We are currently working on a lead time of 4 -6 weeks.
