How it works
Up in minutes. No tools.
Step 1
Hook on at the forestay
Clip the hook connectors onto the forestay. Nothing is fixed to the boat itself.
Step 2
Set the poles
Fit the lightweight aluminium poles that hold the canopy out over the deck.
Step 3
Strap and tension
Fasten the quick-release straps to the stanchions and pull the canopy taut. Done.
SunSkipper is made for a boat at rest: at anchor, on a mooring or in the marina. Take it down before you get under way.
