Fly ridge cover
Has anyone had a bridge cover made? One that snaps to the shield where the canvas goes? How does it stand up? Does it come down to sort of protect the aft deck? I am sure I would have to remove the canvas enclosure on the aft deck also.
Feedback?
Thanks!

Re: Fly ridge cover
The really nice thing about shrink is that it is VERY slippery relative to canvas. You need much more of a pitch in canvas than you do in shrink to make sure any snowfall runs off rather than accumulates. Certainly can be done, but you need to think it through.
What is your goal? To just cover the bridge and aft deck? What happens with the rest of the boat? If you're considering leaving the rest of the boat open, then did you think about just shrinking the bridge and aft deck? That would (should) be considerably less expensive than the whole boat, and, if done correctly, you could probably remove and reuse for several seasons too.
