Good day to everyone from sunny Wisconsin! Summer is here! Am looking to purchase a bow shade that would have a center clip so as to be held up by the spinnaker halyard, clipping to safetylines. Any suggestions regarding what you bought (and where) would be appreciated. I did look at Catalinadirect.com but didn't find any....
Thanks.

Peter, These things are fairly easy to make if you have the right tools. Sailrite has a few ideas. See https://www.sailrite.com/Hatch-Canopy-Kit-Surlast-Fabric

Alternatively, Sogeman offers a couple of options for sailboats. May be available at Defender. https://www.sogeman.com/en-us/products/hatch-umbrellas#inline-auto990. I have not purchased this yet.....

Bow Sun Shade Tent - Any Interest?
I had my local canvas guy make a sun shade for the front of the boat. Sunbrella type material, light cream color:
- three grommets at the bow
- two grommets in middle (between bow and aft corners)
- three grommets on the AFT triangle by mast, one each for the front stays, one grommet bottom of triangle (at the mast end).
- pad eye strap to slightly lift the canvas using spinnaker sheet.
- does not include string or attachment clips.
My dog Shrek loves it! So do we.
If you have interest in buying one, I can approach my canvas guy about making one for you. Cost $265 delivered US addresses, including ground US mail/Fedex ground/UPS ground. $250 if you send me prepaid bill of lading (five pounds, FedEx/UPS/US Mail. $150 on order placement, balance due prior to shipment.
All orders subject to acceptance by my canvas maker, to be confirmed by me. Must be prepaid before shop will make it. Will take 2-3 weeks to make. No other colors available at this time.
Text or e mail me and I can send more pictures.
