This product is currently out of stock, we hope to have it available soon. We can email you when it is back in stock.
The Freeman Cruiser Canopies held in stock are made to a 'Standard' pattern that has been carefully designed. Today, many Freeman Cruisers may well have been adapted, changed, enhanced, and modified since being manufactured so may not be a 'Standard' fit so you may need to make alterations to your boat. It is important to identify the canopy you have before trying to fit a 'Standard' Freeman Canopy. We can only pre-fit certain fittings to the hood. To get the best fit for your Freeman you will need to install the final fixings to the hood for your particular boat. Please also note that we cannot accept the return of a hood once fitting has commenced. It is vital that you measure the new canopy accurately and align everything before starting the installation. If you have any questions please contact us.
The Freeman Cruiser 23 High Rail Canopy is an 'on-the-shelf', ready-made Freeman Cruiser boat canopy that protects the cockpit and crew from all weather, maximizing interior space and tailored specifically for the Freeman 23 so that the canopy and the bars still tuck away into the canopy stowage position above the gas box at the stern.
Our stock Freeman canopies are made from blue PVC material on the outside and light grey on the inside but you can customise your colour and material if ordering a made-to-order kit. Each Freeman 23 High Rail boat canopy comes complete with two pre-fabricated stainless steel hood bars and the slide track kit for a complete installation package.
Stocked Freeman Cruiser hoods are in blue PVC material on the outside, and a light grey on the inside, with clear vinyl windows. If ordering a custom version you can select different colourways and materials (price may differ).
Freeman Canopies do need fitting. It is quite simple and well within the means of DIY. All that is required is some consideration and time, probably best likened to hanging patterned wallpaper! A fitting guidance sheet is supplied with each hood to help guide you through.
It is impossible to match the eyelet fittings with the turn buttons on the stern of your boat as they were originally put on by hand in the factory. Leaving out some of the turn buttons and eyelets during the manufacturing stage allows more tolerance for movement and therefore better alignment of the hood to your particular boat.
If you do not wish to fit the hood yourself we can fit the hood to your boat here at Sheridan Marine on the River Thames. If you would like to book a hood fitting please contact us on 01491 652085.
Usually, a craft knife, a block of wood, and a hammer are the only tools required. With a bit of care, a bespoke look can be achieved.
We have developed the Freeman 23 High Rail Canopy directly from a Freeman 23 so if your current canopy looks different, or you do not have a canopy, this kit can usually be fitted with ease. Do check however that you still have an original Freeman windscreen of course!
