I know that is a dangerous request, but here it goes:
I am considering replacing my bridge enclosures this winter. The current set is 11 years old and getting ragged. After talking with several canvas contractors, it has been suggested to totally remove the large venturi wind screen. In its place, sheets of hard acrylic, like EZ2CY, would extend from the hard top to the super structure. This would in effect change the look of this rather classic vessel. However, if you look at Dick's original design the large venturi was not included in his design drawing. I am seeking opinions on my options. Let the suggestions begin.
