BESPOKE YACHT UPHOLSTERY
OCEAN BREEZE / PERSONALLY TAILORED
A sprayhood sits between the cockpit, companionway and the equipment around it. Its replacement needs a careful record of the fitted shape, clear panels and attachments.
THE FINISH / THE FIT / THE WAY FORWARD
A sprayhood sits between the cockpit, companionway and the equipment around it. Its replacement needs a careful record of the fitted shape, clear panels and attachments.
Take photographs from the cockpit and foredeck while the existing sprayhood is erected. Include the bows, fastenings and the relationship to the companionway. Show areas of wear, loose tension or changes made since the original hood was fitted.
Identify which panels need attention and any proposed changes to their shape or openings. Visibility, zip access and the way panels are handled belong in the conversation. Window material and construction are confirmed as part of the specification, rather than assumed from a photograph.
Explain whether the existing bows, fittings and handholds are being retained. New hardware, frame work, a connecting bimini or cockpit enclosure are separate items to assess. The replacement canvas must be considered around the actual arrangement aboard.
FROM YOUR PHOTOS TO THE FINISHED PIECE
Show the exterior outline and the view from the cockpit through the clear panels.
Photograph deck fastenings, sleeves, zips and any adjoining canvas.
Old canvas can inform the brief; stretching and changed frames may require additional measurements.
Confirm who fits the hood and how any concerns will be reviewed before the work is signed off.
BEFORE WORK BEGINS
Use these notes to prepare your brief. The exact work and arrangements are confirmed with Josh.
Send photographs of the whole hood as well as the damage. The condition of surrounding canvas, seams and attachments affects whether a limited repair or a wider replacement should be discussed. No repair outcome is promised before assessment.
Do not send or remove the frame unless that has been agreed. Josh will discuss the information and access needed for the specific replacement.
Proposed changes can be discussed, but they affect panel shapes, seams and the fitted arrangement. Agree them before pattern approval rather than assuming a like-for-like copy.
Yes, you can include both in an enquiry. List the connecting parts and any enclosure panels so each component, fabric decision and fitting responsibility is considered separately.
