Hard Tops
Hardtops, or enclosed flybridges, are something that are very common
in New Zealand. Probably because of our weather conditions, they
are a means of almost doubling the livable floor area of your boat
without changing the waterline length.
We get invovled with many retro fits and of course new builds. The
technique is the same, we use a 'pipe in the corner' method which
is a simple and very effective way of forming the shape and dimension.
By setting your hardtop roof up on ally pipes, gluing them into
sockets drilled into the window landings top and bottom, you can
ship us patterns of the resulting apeture with confidence.
Once the windows are fitted, the entire structure is like an egg
shell, braced from all directions. You can fit fixed windows to
the front and sliders to the sides, and even throw in a hatch window
across the front to enable communication with people on deck while
mooring, or a nice breeze on a hot day.
Have a look at these pictures and contact us with any question you
may have.
