My advice is to have a slant back made as well as the dropdown "door". For me those two canvas items, along with a driver's side electric wiper and the articulated trailer tongue (which I think you have), are basic 16 cruiser necessities.

thanks, dotnmarty, yes, I think we'll get or make a slantback. Nor sure what you mean by a drop down?

Look in my photo file under Modifications - Canvas Projects - Cabin Curtain. That's probably what is meant.

I was totally wrong (it won't be the last time) about my previous opinion that a tarp would be better rain protection than the old, dirty, ten-year old Angola canvas cover. Within a day of using the tarp, there was so much condensation in the boat it was if it wasn't even there. So we put half the canvas cover on (we had taken it apart where a seam failed), and then had four days of pouring rain. Not a single drop inside the boat, even though the canvas was drenched (it definitely needs to be waterproofed again, but we have to get it cleaner and wait for warmer weather). And when the rain stopped, it dried in about 6 hours. So, we're either going to use the old tarp and make a slant cockpit cover, or just keep the original for a full body cover, and order a slant back from Angolo. I am sooo impressed with the Sunbrella fabric Smile

Wash you Sunbrella (There is a special wash, but any detergent, and some Clorox will work fine. Used to have to used Ivory, or Woolite...but Dawn or Tide does OK.

The soak with 303 Fabric Protectorant. I do this yearly on the slant back.
