New bimini cover
 

Just ordered a new bimini (sun) cover for my Princecraft Yukon. I decided
to get one because I tend to get burned the first really good sunny day each
season....we usually have so much overcast weather in the late spring that a
good hot day catches us a bit unprepared.
Now I might even get my fair skinned wife out for a cruise.
Anyway, I ordered the top from a manufacturer in Quebec who also makes the
official Princecraft 'Sun Top' version. Mine will be better, with real
Sunbrella, stainless steel hardware upgrade and with the back support poles
in place of rear straps.
All that and about $100.00 cheaper. I should look quite dapper with the
Cadet Gray top over the blue sides and gray hull.

And you can call your boat "Yo Ho Junior".

My fair-skinned wife prefers the bimini top to be up. She wears a heavy
sunblock, but the extra protection of that top makes a difference for her.

I prefer the biminis to tee-tops because they offer more shade. If you
get a good bimini, it won't rattle or rock and roll while you are
driving your boat at planing speeds or even a bit faster. The cheap
biminis some boat manufacturers supply have thin tubes and are cheaply
fastened to the deck.

Enjoy.

If you burn easily a bimini will help but a large hat and SPF50
sunscreen will help even more. The sun has a way of finding its way
around biminis, and you also get quite a bit reflected from the water.

Wayne is right, even under a bimini you will get burned so wear a hat
and use sunscreen.

Hope all works well! Take some pictures and let us see.

Hopefully you'll spend some of all that savings on a worthy cause, where your
donation will be matched!

Dapper indeed. I need to get a new bimini top for the pontoon. Oh, the
old one is functional but looking dingy and has a hole in it. Instead
of re-crover I'd say a new one would be bnetery equity. I'm thinking
on using poles and cross beams and making my own so it will go from
stern to bow. Hey, it worked well on the DUKW's, and Filupino fishing
boats.

Try Solumbra (http://www.sunprecautions.com/). They make SPF-rated clothing.
Works wonderfully, and you don't need as much chemicals on your skin.

You don't want to mess with skin cancer.
