Too much wind and rain in my face

[SkaterRace]

I have a smaller CC (21ft - Blackfin 212CC) which has a tiny windshield. I think If I made it a bit bigger I could go out on more rain or windy days. I'm not sure what I could do to make it a bit bigger to deflect more wind/rain out of my face. Does anyone have any ideas?

T-top, rain coat or bathing suit for rain.
Sunglasses or ski goggles for wind

Post pictures of your boat. Do you have a T Top?

I do have a hard top and no pictures of it that show the windshield well. It has a windshield and a metal frame for the hard top.

I've been doing the mask and goggles, was hoping for something more permanent.

People make bigger/ better windshields all the time. Lexan is easy to work with if bends and curves are needed. Without pics, we are all in the dark.

Trying to hide behind a “windshield” isn’t the answer when push comes to shove.

An enclosure of some sort will get you into 3 season boating.

Anything is possible if your pockets are deep enough. Appearance may take a back seat to purpose !!

That would be perfect! I think that is even the same style in general as I have for piping and windshield. Guessing that is more than likely a custom job?

Agree with dingbat in post #7. turn your T-top into a pilot house with zip-in isenglass. you may have to add sail track.

and yes, see your local upholstry shop.

My neighbor has a 27' CC. He has snap in clear plastic that connects the T top to the gunwale, on each side. It makes it hard to get to the bow, but really protects the sailors behind the screen.
