I am looking for a little sun protection, and relief for my pregnant wife for hot days with no wind. I have seen a lot of the Bimini's and boom tents. I have trouble getting under them; I am 6'4". I am looking for something that is easy up and down. Has any one used a Defender Sailcloth Sunshade Cover. I saw it on Defender web site. Dose anyone have any other idea's?

Thanks!

Jarrett,
I' 6.0. most likely at 6.4 it's not the boom tent, it's the boom!


On the C250, the boom stops fwd of the leading edge of the bimini, so we could put up a suitably high bimini.

Not sure if that is the case with a C25, which model do you have?

Paul, yes the boom gets me often... I have a 250wk.

Sean, how high is the shade. Do you move the boom to the side or is the shade below? How do you like the table?

Thanks for your help guys!

The shade has a ajustable hight thats all way down .
I pull the toping lift to get the boom out of the way ,then tie the boom to the backstay with a bunge .
losen the main sheet and wrap it around the winch .

the table is nice you can keep it up while your sailig its not to much in the way .

but when its folded down its tight between the seat .
