Semi-rigid sun awning

Who hasn't dreamed of equipping their rigid inflatable boat with a bimini to protect themselves from the sun both at anchor and while sailing.

But attaching hoops to the tubes has several drawbacks:
- It is a procedure that involves gluing plates and can only be carried out by professionals.
- It is inconvenient and bulky when folded
- And it is quite an expensive accessory.

To meet the desire to protect oneself from heat and sun rays, SNA has developed this soft and lightweight fabric without structure that is installed simply using the boat's attachment points. It is just as easy to remove.
Customers confirm to us that the assembly or disassembly operation takes only 2 minutes.

The principle is a rectangle of fabric with a sleeve at each end into which you slide a 10 or 12mm diameter cane rod. This fabric has adjustable straps with a buckle on each width. The straps wrap around the tubes and tighten.
When choosing your size, make sure to select a dimension that allows for an uncovered space of 14cm to enable the fabric to be stretched.
If you choose a size that is too large or exactly tube to tube, the fabric will be laid but will flap in the wind, so it will let water in and you also won't be able to keep it while sailing.

To stabilize the fabric, each length is equipped with loops through which you slide a rope to attach to the handles or the grab rail. If you prefer, you can also fix this rope to hooks that clip into the gutter of the rubbing strake (which runs around the tube).

What we provide:

- The fabric with a choice of 5 sizes and 2 colors: gray or black
- A fixing kit composed of 6m of gray rope diameter 6mm, 4 hooks for inflatable boats, 2.5m of shock cord diameter 4mm.
- 2 cane rods diameter 10 or 12mm, each 140cm long
