Console wings

The biggest downside my my RIB is that it’s cold. You all know you are very exposed. Well a cabin RIB isn’t in my future so I had the local canvas man make up some wings. They look good. Hopefully I can get out soon to see how they help.

Sorry, having trouble with the photos. Please stand by....

why am I getting "invalid file" on everything I try to upload? I used to work.

Use the app rather than the website. It seems to work then....well for me anyway

On the app I can’t see the toolbar behind the keyboard. Is there a way to hide the keyboard?

Ok. The keyboard covering the attachment button is a bug. Fixed in the Tapatalk app. Seems to work.

Nice job - it will make a big difference. Out of curiosity - what are your air temps like when afloat? My one experience of a T-top was that it was bl@@dy freezing - the sunlight (even here) provides a great deal of heat into clothing.

Interesting point, I have been mulling over removing my T-top for a year now. I tend to think of it as providing blessed shade on hot days, it never occurred to me that its also denying much needed warmth.

Yup - ok in Greece but freezing cold in our climate with an open roof.

We can be 50F and foggy, cold and damp. At 30+mph that’s a cold wind. The flip side being that when the sun comes out sunburn is an issue so the top is nice.

As a follow up we have made several trips with theses and it makes all the difference in the world. No wind standing at the helm to the point I have to remove layers as I get hot. My family reports that it’s so much more comfortable in the back on the beanbags. We forgot the once and they were not happy. It was a good investment!!
