SM Helm seat back
On SM153, we want to remove the plastic part that holds the table to the helm seat. See attached picture. Has anyone ever done this? It looks like it might be epoxied but thought I would ask before I start struggling with it.

Re: Winter cockpit room on 54
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Nick, we have a full cockpit enclosure with side and back curtains that roll up. Would be without it. We get the use of the full cockpit in any weather. No problem at sea. A must have in my opinion. If you look around you will see a lot of SM with these and some with better features than others so look around before you do it Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hello Nick,
the „winter enclosure“ is great. Even in hot weather ( just open some windows). Also when sailing you can use all sheets without opening the side windows. Especially for night watches it is fine (it stays warm, nearly like in the saloon, we sleep in the cockpit). Disadvantages: worse watching the sails, more difficult to go outside/ on deck. Best regards Stefan A54-119 Lady Charlyette, currently Porto Santo

Companionway screen
Just to interject, this is from my previous boat, a Moody. The previous owner installed it in Trinidad, more than 20 years ago. It’s been working very well, all these years. Rolls up, completely out of the way, very easy to deploy, very easy to stow, easy ingress and egress when deployed. Couldn’t ask for more. I sold the boat last June, and the new owners still use it. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt Begin forwarded message:

Hi Steve, I ordered a screen with these dimensions (in inches): Width: 24 7/8 Height: 30 5/8 I would recommend reducing the width by 1/8 or 3/16 as my screen bows slightly at the base. The height get right up to the top slider. Mark Pitt "Sabbatical III" SM419, Rhode Island, USA

Re: Winter cockpit room on 54
Hi Nick,

I just redid our SM cockpit enclosure last year. We got caught in a 3-day gale this Spring and stayed dry (some dripping where zippers meet at corners) and warm in 35-45 kts winds and torrential rains. I also raised the Bimini top a few inches so I can stand up straight and see all around the boat. I have similar side panels out of sun screen that lets air through but shades and cools the cockpit a lot and keeps light rain out. The new Bimini is supported forward on two poles that attach to the dodger, and aft by the mizzen forestays and cap shrouds. It stays up all the time for shade, but has two large windows to trim sails and allows wind to blow through the cockpit when the forward window is stowed. It has made life in the cockpit much better in all conditions. I can’t find my pics, will post some next time the enclosure is up. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM243

Hello fellow Amel owners, On Amelia I have the curtain that zips to the aft end of the spray hood that keeps the front half of the cockpit dry. It works very well and allows easy access to the winches and to look at the sails whilst actually sailing. The watch keeper is also kept dry even when running downwind.<IMG_0988.jpeg> Please see the attached photo. I am considering getting the whole winter cockpit room made, obviously this would be great whilst in port or at anchor. My question is; how well does it work when actually sailing?

Re: Winter cockpit room on 54
Nick 2 years ago we left Brunswick Georgia in January it was 30 degrees F we had the full winter enclosure and for 4 days were in 30+knots the enclosure worked great and when it warmed some we rolled up the side panels and kept on going. I loved it 👍🏻
