KEEP BUMPING HEAD

Ok, I'm usually able to figure these things out myself but this time I'm not able to find a suitable fix.

Anyone with a C-dory knows you have to duck going in and out of the door. Sometimes my guest just seem to forget this fact. So, I'm in need of a fix you might say. I've tried adding the round pipe insulation but it always gets ripped down by the guy who needs to grab that area standing inside the cab looking out. The last time (which was yesterday) I had my third one torn down. I've tried gluing it but it still gets ripped off. Any ideas I might not have thought of will sure be appreciated. Crook

Sorry, but here it goes.

The title says it all: 'keep bumping head" and you would think they learn.

Paint the area fluorescent orange! Put small strips of reflective mylar, hanging down below the top of the door frame, which will catch the light.

I split a length of plastic tubing and fastened it to the door frame with 4200 after pushing it up onto the frame edge. Works good so far. My old bald head just could not take it anymore.

When your guests come aboard hand them a PFD and a bicycle helmet.

On construction sites, when workers keep hitting their hard hats on overhead pipes or beams, they tie pieces of rope, tape, string, anything that hangs below the obstruction and is at eye level for anyone passing below. That works even with a brimmed cap blocking your upward vision.

A simple fix.

I bought a piece of the white and red reflective tape that is used on the sides of trailers and wrapped it around the top frame of the door.

Keep inviting guests aboard, show them the great features of the C-Dory. Let them bump their heads a few times. Then tell them you are prepared to reluctantly sell your boat for a 100k. Hey, you might luck in Laughing

Adjust price accordingly for any C-Dory's over 25'.
