Benefits of technology

The invention is a shade cover for a boat that protects the bow from sun and keeps the cabin cool. This results in a more comfortable temperature for the occupants and reduces the use of air conditioners and generators. The shade cover also protects the gel coat on the deck from sun damage. The ideal properties of the shade cover include being strong, lightweight, resistant to tearing, and UV stabilized. The cover is made of textiles that function as a heat sink, solar deflector, and gel coat protector. Overall, the shade cover improves the efficiency and comfort of the boat.

Problems solved by technology

The rise of a bow or attachment position of the shade cover may compromise the space.
