O que este vídeo aborda
Dirk and Riki of the Lagoon 410 S2 Suria fabricate custom cockpit sunshades using Soltis 86 mesh fabric.▶ 0:05 This material blocks over 90% of solar radiation while maintaining outward visibility, which improves significantly with darker color choices.▶ 0:05 To construct the shades, the crew uses the existing bimini side panels as templates, securing hems with clips rather than pins to prevent fabric damage.▶ 0:40 They sew the mesh with a heavy-duty machine using a standard jeans needle and UV-resistant Serabond thread, applying a double-stitch finish for durability.▶ 1:07 For high-stress attachment points, they reinforce the mesh with Sunbrella canvas before installing Tenax fasteners.▶ 2:05 The lower edges secure to the existing cockpit enclosure using webbing and hook-and-loop tape.▶ 3:09 To manage the shades, the crew sews fixed-length webbing straps with plastic clip fasteners, which have proven more corrosion-resistant than traditional metal snaps in saltwater environments.▶ 4:05 The installation effectively reduces cockpit temperatures and protects the deck from heat buildup.▶ 4:46
