Cockpit Bimini or Extended Cabin Roof

One of the features of the Whitehaven design series is the option of a raised cockpit floor to give better visibility over the cabin with a raised soft or solid bimini over the cockpit or the extended cabin roof option.
The raised cockpit floor and bimini allows for a gap between the cabin roof and bimini which enhances airflow in and around the cockpit whilst provided shade in the cockpit. This is the preferred option for the tropics.
The other option of the cabin top continuing aft offers better protection from the elements and thus is a better option for colder climates.
