The Shade Maker

One of the best pieces of equipment that I've got on my boat is a black mesh screen material that I use for shade anywhere in the boat. It measures 5x10, and I can hang it anywhere on the boat via the brass gomets. The material is soft, and the 5x10 shade folds up to about the size of a beach towel. If you're going cruising, and want to be comfortable when the sun gets below your Bimini, this is a real luxury. It can also be used over the boom to shade the cabintop during midday, like an awing.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

That would be a very expensive bit of shade. DIY for $20.

Thanks Jim. I cleaned it up so it no longer appears to be spam, and says nothing about helping other sailors optain one of these, nothing about price, or anything like that. Once I find the rules, I'll make sure I keep it clean.

Jim, you're a decent fellow who I hope to run across someday out there. Thanks for your help.

wjcullen,

Your altruism is wonderful and all, but you continue to miss the point: Regardless of your motives, what you're doing violates Sailnet's Terms Of Service. You will almost certainly find similar policies on just about any web forum you visit, be it about sailing, firearms, knives, flashlights, you name it. The reasons are varied, and I'm really not inclined to go into it right now. Besides: I'm in no position to infer the reasons behind Sailnet policy. Suffice to say that is the site's policy.

Jim
