On this Riva Duchessa, the owner wasn’t satisfied with the hard top on the fly bridge. It was too small to protect the full area of the flybridge from the sun. So, the goal was to bring more shadow by extending the hard top.

After several discussions with the captain, we chose the idea of extending the roof aftward on both sides with two fixed elements, and stretching a canvas between its two elements by an electrical system.
Besides, we replaced the central part of the roof by a new one that we built in fiberglass, with 3 spaces in the middle to receive plexiglass in it.

We made every part of this modification in fiberglass by Infusion Technology at the workshop.

Then, we laminated each piece to the original roof.
