That North River boat windlass project is finally...

I finished the windlass install a week ago, but needed a canvas cover
for the bow to hide all the hardware that supports the windlass, and I
think it turned out pretty well.

Photo of the project and the final result on my homepage here:

Now to get that anchor system wet out on Suisun Bay chasing sturgeon -
hopefully next week!

I gotta tell you, that looks like a damn fine job! I don't know if
your snaps are really tight, but rather than take the chance of
tearing any fabric you might consider one of these:

These are metal, but plastic ones work just as well for releasing the
snaps. You can probably find them for free at your local golf course.

Great job.

Nice work!  Why not cover the whole bow area with something that you can
walk on?  If you have to work up there on the water you really have
limited space now.

Well... of course the whole idea of a windlass is to stay off the bow.
But if I had to go forward, I could unbutton the canvas and walk up
there fairly well. But I don't plan on having to do that!

Thanks all for the kind comments.
