Bespoke sprayhood advice please

[mickyp168]

Hi, I am considering having a sprayhood made up for my boat. She is a Daimio 700 by CNSO and long out of production. I would be grateful for any recommendations as to a company who could make me one as I doubt I can source an original.

Thanks
Mick

The livaboard section might get better results in that case

Speak to any good local sailmaker, they will measure up and make what you want.

Get them to make a pattern in clear plastic first. That way you can easily decide where you want zips, windows, straps etc. and once finalised they just have to copy the pattern.

While you're at it, consider getting a full cockpit tent made. Getting ours done brought tears to my wallet, but was the best investment we've made on the boat, effectively giving us an extra room on cool or wet evenings, and you should get a better price if you're doing it all at once.
