What kinds of sailboat enclosures do you build?

Cockpit dodgers, bimini extensions, connector panels, and full cockpit surrounds for monohulls and catamarans, all in lightweight soft isinglass patterned to the rig.

Do you build for catamarans too?

Yes. Catamaran hardtops and cockpit perimeters get multi-panel layouts sized so each panel handles easily shorthanded.

Why soft isinglass for a sailboat instead of hard acrylic?

Weight and handling. Soft panels are light, roll away under sail, and don't fight the rig. Bonded acrylic can suit liveaboard cruisers and catamarans with the structure for it. Ask us whether your rig qualifies.

What material is used on sailing enclosures?

Lightweight 30 or 40-gauge optical-grade clear vinyl, Stamoid Top Double Coated 59 inch or Sunbrella binding, black flap-covered YKK zippers, and SolarFix PTFE Lifetime thread throughout.

How long do the panels last?

Plan on 5 to 7 years of clear-panel life in Florida sun, longer in northern seasons or with covered storage. Binding and stitching typically outlast the clear vinyl.

Every EZ2CY enclosure carries a five-year prorated limited warranty, sailing systems included.

Why EZ2CY®

From measurement to installation

01
On-vessel measurement

We measure every panel opening, frame dimension, and track position, including curved windshields and multi-panel layouts.

02
In-house fabrication

Panels and connectors are cut and seamed together in our Riviera Beach shop so the full system zips up without puckering.

03
Professional installation

We install at the dock, set panel tension for the rig, and walk you through handling the system shorthanded.

Care & cleaning

Want maximum UV protection instead?

Hard acrylic blocks 98% of UV and includes built-in EZ Vent. It's standard on powerboats, and an option for liveaboard cruisers and catamarans where the structure suits it.
