View Full Version : Anchor shade?
Anyone using an anchor shade for some sun relief, I see some reviews say they are flimsy and a pain to use. Any help or suggestions would be great. I do not want A Bimini top.

I had one in my stingray Vic. Was great but not really made for underway. I was gonna get one for my super. Pretty light and I thought it was pretty well made. Its square so it covered the cockpit pretty well.
All I want is at anchor to get some shade if I take the kids swimming off of the Stoker.

I think its a great idea. I gave mine to a friend when I got a boat with a bimini. He still uses it and thats been 20 years.

We put one on a new HackerCraft. Looked like crap on the wooden boat, but was very light weight, easy to use and functional.

I own one. Turns out that I have never used it on the boat, but I found this little plastic screw/cup thing to use it in the sand.
For the boat, be sure you have four points to tie it off to--I have no forward cleats, have to improvise. But its whole mounting depends on tying off the four corners.

I've had one for about 5 years and use it all summer long. It goes up in about a minute; clip it onto forward and stern cleats. Mine's teal and matches one of the stripes on the Velocity. Definitey worth the price IMO.:thumbsup:
