I have always thought that a sprayhood is the single best improvement you can make to the accommodation in a small boat.
As per your plan Twyfordbridge, I always sail with the hood down unless the weather is unpleasant. Think carefully about the windows, those huge wide awake ones you see in some sprayhoods are not the best for folding, nor are they easy to replace when they go milky. A companionway hatch cover could complete your ensemble:
Make This Companionway Hatch Cover In Under a Day
A window in it is nice and a couple of battens mean you don't need all the fasteners.
