Sailboat in-boom furling awning ARTE BAMAR
The main characteristics of this article are functionality and practicality. The awning is available with either TREVIRA or DACRON cloth.
On sailing yachts, it may be fitted either on both sides of the boom (see drawing), on the foredeck, or on the backstay to protect the skipper.
On motor yachts, it may be installed on the roll-bar to protect the cockpit.
It is manually operated: you just have to free the locking line and drag the awning to unroll it. A slight pull on the line is enough to roll the awning that will disappear inside the foil.
It is a very practical accessory because it may be stopped in any position, thus offering the desired shade and bettering life onboard.
With high wind, the awning may be used as dodger if it is anchored to the rig or to the washboard.
Its functionality sensibly augments if you use supporting arms to be fitted on the boom. In this case, the awning does not have to be anchored to the rig, as it is kept upright thanks to the arms. The boom can then be moved sideways in order to shade the desired area.
This system allows you to use the awning even when you are sailing.
The awning may be used as a rain cover because TREVIRA cloth is rainproof.
It is a practical and fast system to be used. When the awning is rolled in, you just have to take off the arms in order not to have obstacles when sailing.
