Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The Shade Tree awning on a Pearson Triton provides a freestanding, tent-like structure that allows for airflow and standing headroom in the cockpit.0:27 Fiberglass battens, connected by internal bungees, form the frame and mount to the lifelines using rotating attachments.1:38 This rotation allows the awning to flex and shed wind pressure rather than resisting it directly.0:57 Shark bite clips and bungees provide additional tension and structural stability.1:49 Installation takes approximately 15 minutes.2:10 The design features a slot at the aft end to accommodate the topping lift, allowing the fabric to sit close to the backstay for maximum shade coverage.4:37 While the awning is lightweight and stows compactly, its height and cost make it unsuitable for long-term storage or leaving unattended during severe weather.3:45 The high profile maintains visibility and ventilation, unlike low-hanging tarps that restrict movement and airflow.2:58
