I’m guessing that open / closed depends on how much air you like moving on the flybridge. Even when it is cold I like air moving, which makes me unzip the bottom of the smile a few inches and let fresh air in.
The canvas does create a significant amount of windage making docking much different than without it even with everything open.
At the risk of thread drift, I’ve been asked a number of times from passerbys that don’t know she sewed it how much we paid, and have no idea what to answer. What would it have cost if we didn’t do it ourselves? I do know that I learned new cuss-words from the Admiral while she was fabricating, but since this is a family forum, I won’t post any of those here....
