Yet another great video. Really envy the new top cover. Really does improve the line of the boat. I have the silver finish. So more light but like you a lot of greening in a very wet UK winter. May investigate just to have the top bit done in your material.

As a 2023 NC1095 owner with black bimini, the white is definitely an improvement. A shame the original did not last longer. We are in Florida so similar conditions. Thanks for posting your ideas. BTW, the dealer changed the position of our GPS reciever from inside the cabin to roof top. Autopilot improvement!

[@TheRudder]

Yes I do like the new look. I think it would look fantastic on a 1095!! As i did mention they might have updated the material on a 2023 version. I like the idea of moving the GPS receiver, sometimes I wait for a lon time for a GPS lock up. Cheers

We got the grey covers on our 795 series 2. Much better than the black in my view. Looks better but much cooler in Australian conditions and much tauter than your old ones.

Great video Damien, looks great, and so does the mesh. Ours is grey with windows and still in good shape. We do not have the mesh but certainly could use it at times. Cheers 🤙

[@TheRudder]

We love the mesh. Often can see the mosquito buzzing around right on the mesh!!

[@johnpenson8801]

Hi Damien. Could you please give me more details on this new material? I think you said “Stanway” is that right? I want to see if my local sailmaker in the UK can make up just the top cover to match my existing silver side screens. With thanks.

[@TheRudder]

Hi John, it is called Stamoid. I believe it is widely available - www.sergeferrari.com/us-en/productsstamoid-range/stamoid-top

[@johnpenson8801]

@@TheRudder Thanks Damien . I will contact my local sail and canopy maker for a price to make a replacement top cover in the open fabric. Did you choose white or Snow White colour? Your boat looks great. More streamlined now.

[@TheRudder]

@@johnpenson8801 I think it is just white. Good luck

Looks really Nice. I am looking at a used 895 this weekend. Has no covers or enclosure. I was thinking if I did get an 895 I would like a hard top that goes all the way to the transom and then run curtains down from there. I have not seen anyone do that yet.

[@TheRudder]

There is no factory hard top that covers the cockpit. That would need to be a custom build, fairly expensive I think. A lot of people have a more solid after market cockpit canopy which is more solid.

[@nmkang5825]

Hello Damien, thank you for this! I am having same wear and tear issue and was thinking about going with stamoid as well. Do you think your contact can make the same exact fitting (top only - no need for enclosure) ? Or did they come out to custom make it on your boat?

[@TheRudder]

Hi, we are happy with the stamoid. I'm not sure, they did come out to make an exact fit BUT we wanted everything to fit with our mesh enclosures. Give Shane a call at Hook, Line Trimming. Say you watched the video hahaha. Hope it goes well
