I didn't want a ridgid bow cover as I find that fuffing around on a fore deck in choppy conditions and recovering an Anchor or something rather uncomfortable to do.
Is there no one that could comment on how strong a structure would have to be if it was moulded to the tubes?

Luckily we have thought of the anchor issue - on our boat you stand in the main locker to retrieve the anchor - the lid opens sideways and is directly in line with the drivers eyes so thier view is not obstructed. This means that your feet are on or below the waterline and you can retrieve the anchor with ease! By the way the locker is sealed and has a power supply for a fridge, air pump for inflateable toys etc.
All of our boats are custom made in our Devon factory so if you wanted optional bolt on items for different applications we have the capability to design and build pretty much anything!
