It was 15 years ago so I don't remember prices but the extra expense over vinyl was worth it. My canvas shop learned to use thinner ,30ga, lexan for corners that they could curve for strength and eliminating frames.

They look nice and clear. Isn’t Lexan a solid product? The only reason I ask is that it was used in drag cars to save weight.

Nice Carver. Almost bought one.

thanks. Yes it is solid but in thinner gauges it is bendable and he sewed it into the frames just like vinyl. IIRC he used 50 ga for side windows but 30 for curved sections'.

Here you can see the curved corner without any frame in the way. Open smiley held up with twist lock fitting.

I left a smiley open for ventilation while docked.

That is super interesting Bayview and looks really nice. You say you are on year 15 with this enclosure? Have you had to replace the bindings and zippers?

Pretty sweet.
