Shade for 35CB Cockpit

Post by **Maogwaicat** » Thu May 11, 2023 2:36 pm

Any advice for bimini top or shade for the cockpit of CB 35? I am looking if there is an off the shelf solution without going custom. I measured and it looks like 128 inches wide and 92 inches long. Last owner (Jerry Crews) apparently had a hard top that was taken down before I saw the vessel. Appreciate any advice.

I don't think you'll find anything off the shelf unless it's do-it-yourself. For a real bimini, you're looking at custom.

Last year, I was looking for something simple and inexpensive. Here's the thread:

We are going custom. I saw the other thread discussing Custom from Boat Canvas factory, but we live in North Florida and I don't want to go to Boca. Using a local company, we arrived at a deal renewing all upholstery interior and exterior and a new enclosure for the bridge.

That sounds like a really nice major upgrade! I'd love to hear more about what you're doing.

We use a 6'x6' Taylormade AnchorShade umbrella and it shades the cockpit nicely when you're on the hook or in a marina. Folds up nicely and stands in the shower when we're underway or home.

Hello Sanatee,
Thanks for the idea. I will acquire an umbrella for the time being while waiting for the rest of the project to get underway.

Hello…
I purchased the Taylor sun shade ..
Just 4 connections…have each corner connected to a cleat and than a pole in the middle to adjust the heat …
Very happy with it ..great sun shade.
Easy to store and set up once you get the right tension on the corners all set ..
Can set it up in 2 minutes now ..

Adjust the Height not heat…

I do like the idea of adjusting the heat!
