Keep the sun and weather out of the cockpit. These awnings are a great low-cost alternative to a Bimini top. The awning is supported in the middle by your boom and is equipped with ties on each side to secure it to life lines or rails. They can be installed or removed in seconds. We make them in your choice of Sunbrella colors. Just measure the width and length of the awning you want. With boom tent awnings, extra allowance in the width is important to get the awthartships coverage you want (10' of width is average for a boat with a beam of 8 ft.) You may use decimal points to express partial feet.
