Rival Owners Association
Don Ramsay (R32 Flossie) has sent in the following information and photos.
C&J Marine at Chichester have made a replacement spray hood on a new frame and a
complete cockpit enclosure for R32 Flossie. They had not made one for a Rival 32
before so had to make up a pattern. As a consequence anyone in future can have
one made up without the inconvenience of measuring up, re measuring, adjusting
etc. It took them weeks but the final result is quite spectacular. It must have
been fitted, removed, adjusted and refitted at least three times. The enclosure
can be folded back or completely removed, the frame collapses like tent poles.
The enclosure zips onto the spray hood and apart from waterproof I think it must
be virtually air tight! It has made a huge difference to the usable space below
and keeps her much warmer and drier. I cannot speak too highly of C&J's
quality. If anyone wants to inspect, Flossie is at Haslar, Gosport. Email me
