Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte

What UPF rating is recommended for sun protection on board?
On the water, UV exposure is particularly high due to reflections from the water, so materials with UPF 50+ are advisable. This value means that less than 2% of UV radiation penetrates the fabric – but this only applies to the fabric itself, not to gaps at edges or attachment points.
How do I securely attach a sun awning on board without overloading the fittings?
Sun awnings should always be anchored at several points to distribute the load. If possible, use existing shrouds, stays, or cleats as attachment points – direct fastening with thin lines or provisional hooks will quickly lead to torn eyelets or damaged fastenings in windy conditions.
Can I leave cockpit canopy fabrics outside in winter?
That depends on the material and the quality of the seams. Generally: Even high-quality fabrics age faster if they are unnecessarily exposed to UV radiation and frost. If you winterize your boat, you should remove canopies and sun awnings, store them dry, and check fittings for corrosion.
Don't synthetic sun protection covers eventually get moldy anyway?
Synthetic fabrics like polyester or acrylic are naturally less prone to mold than natural fibers, but they are not mold-proof. Dirt and organic residues on the surface provide enough breeding ground for mold spores – regular rinsing with clear water and dry storage reliably prevent this.
