Lots o' fitting involved with custom. Usually somebody close to the boat...

Chris is being too polite... ALWAYS somebody close to the boat! They will need to visit multiple times for measuring and fitting.

Yes, where are you? Irish Sail Lady on Riberia St in St. Augustine, FL. Just fabricated dodger, Bimini, Foresail sacrificial and main cover (lazy jack).
Terrific.

If you are not able to get a good reference in your area, or maybe even if you do: walk the docks and look for work you admire. Leave notes where you find quality work, often times labels are visible. It is OK if the work is not brand new, as then you can ask the owner how it has worn and performed in various situations. If doing any off-shore sailing, operation in trying conditions can be an important consideration (in big seas with one hand on the boat and only one hand free for adjustment with winds causing more tension than when at dock). Material selection can also be important: gortex or other UV resistant thread, quality stainless for long life attachments, strength and scratch resistance of clear materials, how color selection effects fading. If you are on a production boat, well worth the time to look at others for design and construction ideas, wear points and material ideas.
