Fall and Spring, prime time to fix broken windows. These two required some much needed attention. Difficult to see all of the cracks in these photos, but in the last photo you can see the new window material ready to go back on the boat.

Full Bridge Enclosure for a Silverton in Charcoal Tweed Sunbrella
At first I thought the Charcoal Tweed Sunbrella was going to be too dark for such a large boat. But Sunbrella’s tweed patterns add a nice touch of color without getting too dark (or in some cases, too light). Solid black would have been too much, and the grey would have washed the boat out. This …
