While in Friday Harbor, I am happy to give tours of my patio umbrella. Costs $5 in a thrift shop. Laughing

I went that route once, when I wanted shade but didn't want the restriction of a full biminni and the interference it generates for fishing.

Had it dropped into a piece of PVC pipe attached to the rear of the cockpit.

Once I forgot to collapse it when I took off to change fishing positions.

At somewhere between 15-20 mph it rose up just like the great airfoil it is, and whent straight up, did a somersault or two, and crashed back down to athe lake to join the Davey Jones Locker Parade.

Mary Poppins should have looked so good! Laughing

Live and learn!

I did mine with Bimini first and add on side and back panels later. Same guy did the whole thing. All custom to our specs. 1" ss tubing and fittings on quick release bases. About $3,300 all told. I did as Bob suggests. Lots of clear in back windows and less in sides.
This is for a 22 so 25 may be a bit more. Great addition to the boat

Hi there - I’ve recently acquired a 22’ Cruiser that has a camper back however it does not have side or back panels (with widows or screens). I notice that you live in Nanaimo and worked with a local supplier. I live in Fanny Bay and am looking for a local service that can fabricate panels. (I’m also new to boating and am just getting the lay of the land at this point). Can you recommend anyone in our area?

I appreciate you input/guidance

Cheers
Ian

Good Morning Ian,

George does live in Nanaimo, I believe a live aboard currently, but sold KerriOn about a year ago, and moved back to the blow boats. I think he peeks in here (very) occasionally so he might answer, but there are several other Vanc Island C-BRATS who may be able to help out. Glad to see you here, C-BRATS is a pretty great place for any/everything C-Dory.

steveandreina last post was shortly after the abc e quote, and asking if one could tow with the camper back up--the answer is "NO".

I have had two camper backs from King Canvas. One was a decent cover. The other I didn't have time to have one made locally and ordered on from King. The quality was just not there. You may wish to talk to them, and specify what you want.

Tenara thread lasts much longer--costs more $$. A quality clear vinyl will cost more than cheap rolled material. You want zip out clear vinyl, or at least U shaped smileys, so you can roll or otherwise support the side panels to allow ventilation.

If you want custom work it will cost more, but you best would leave the boat with t hem, for fitting.
