Sun Sail 05

a fabric shade attached to the boom sail cover with zippers and supported by fiberglass poles on the outside corners. straps tension the cover over the fiberglass poles.

the sketches here are incomplete as of 6/28/2024. 

  1. the zippered attachment should be above the boom not below
  2. fiberglass tubes are shown as a single line rather than with it's actual diameter which tapers from about 5cm to about .5cm.
  3. straps to tension the shade over the poles and to the front at the boom are not shown.
  4. the forward attachment may be on the dodger or the deck rather than the boom.
in the comments below, please record other changes that need to be made.

The height of the edge of the shade is set to provide good visibility for a person standing but could go lower for more shade.
