However, there is one drawback - windage. It's like having a big sail up there blowing us around. If I did it again, I would have the high area over the cockpit only and have the rest of the boat cover lower down. <br /><br />Strathy Hi Ben,

I’m a six footer so I wanted some space to roam around in above deck in the winter – that is why we have the high frame. However, there is one drawback – windage. It’s like having a big sail up there blowing us around. If I did it again, I would have the high area over the cockpit only and have the rest of the boat cover lower down.

Here in NY we just hit sub 0*F for the first time this year. Love your fullhead room cover -- very smart. I can barely crawl around under my cover! Great stuff … glad im not up that far north.

I suppose that up to the last week or so we could still have been sailing - it just would have been bone crushing cold out there. Now there is no way of getting out of our slip - so we are in for the winter for sure. Thanks for the comment and enjoy a nice sail for us here in Canada.<br /><br />Strathy Hi Seadog,

My little boat is still in the water (most are chocked up in the boatyard) so I will keep sailing through the winter in the far south-west of Wales. Good luck with the mid-life rethink!<br /><br />Jerry Hi Strathy, we are getting really mild weather over in the UK (6-10C), so your minus 16C sounds a bit chilly!
