For those of you who are interested in the construction, we opted to sew on webbing straps instead of using bungie cords like a lot of folks. I just hated the though of figuring out which-bungie-goes-where each time it's deployed.
The front is secured with a short piece of webbing and a DOT Common Sense fastener looped around the jib halyard.
And the two sides are joined at the mast using the DOT fasteners and webbing passed thru under the sail/sailbag.
And the spreader cable was handled with a pocket using sunbrella binding.
Pretty pleased with it! Hope to get lots of shade in the future! A shady view from inside the cockpit.
I somehow missed this post...and I am happy to see the finished shade...shade is so nice when it's hot...it really makes a huge difference in how much heat one can stand...It looks beautiful!
