The ...Hi both, we’re not quite sure what you mean. The tubes you mention are fixed to the gunwale that runs all the way round the bow to the roof (what I think you’re calling the canopy). The metal tubes (sruts) hold the weight of the roof. The roof section is metal and does not come down at all. The canopy (fabric) is held on by very wide velcro on the inside of the rim of the roof and by press-studs along the bottom. The whole of the canopy can be removed when required leaving the whole of the bow area open. If you would like some pictures of the inside of the bow, let me have your e-mail address (which I will not publish) perhaps that would make it a bit clearer for you. Could you perhaps put some pictures of your boat on your blog so that we can see your plan better.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-41761901901296184602016-04-09T22:12:14.931+01:002016-04-09T22:12:14.931+01:00Hi Carol, I have a question about the front canopy...Hi Carol, I have a question about the front canopy at the bow of Still Rockin please. On the front of our new build narrowboat we have a similar covered bow area. Having seen the photos of still Rockin, it looks like you have a fairly thin tube from top of the covered bow structure down to the gunnel area, do you find this metal tube thick enough? we are not sure about what to do for ours so that the bow canopy will be held in shape correctly when down and still have a pleasing look. any observations about how yours works for you would be great, thanks in advance.
