Simple Affordable Dinghy Shade from AMAZON

Dinghy shade can get complicated, expensive, and heavy so we wanted to explore a simple affordable option that our friend suggested from amazon. amzn.to/30CV8Yr What are your thoughts on using the Hobie Bimini as dinghy shade?

Love the Tech talk videos Billy! Keep them coming. How about since you are a kite board instructor a video on the basics of set up and how to?

[@Janchez]

Clever canopy. When the material wears out it seems like a new one could be sewn about 6" wider on the ends for a bit more shade. If your engine conks out and you don't want to row you can sail down wind with it. Y rig dinghy.

Billy if the outboard breaks down, you could sail back to the Cat⛵️

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Now that you are back in Florida a discussion in !!!! LIGHTNING PROTECTION !!!!!! would be good

[@ride-it-outtimandtoni232]

Thanks for the video. Maybe a quick follow up on how long it lasts?

[@blainevatcher5475]

Very simple cost effective solution. Thanks. A tech video on what hand held or headlamps lights work the best would be great. Thanks

I'd consider finding a suitable bit of material (off cut of a tent fly maybe) and some fittings or ties (string/hooks that attach tent inner to poles) and set up a sidewall , get some extra coverage that way. Likely only usable when static but that might be when it's most needed

Interested in seeing how hard this is to set up while on the water. Would guess it just depends on the wind. On calm hot summer afternoons on a kayak could prevent heat exhaustion so would have to consider it a safety item, worst case, life saving. Worth the money.

Cool ass dinghy! I bought a brand new cheapy without storage or double hull.

[@sellbyowner9340]

Nice shade for your outboard motor that already got a cover.

[@Chris-zo5ze]

How did this end up working out in the long run?

[@tim1299]

where is the shade for $243.

[@bobn1378]

Use Carabiners for clips

[@algamble]

I'd have to call that a fail for the most part although it would provide a little shade for Jets if you two take her along diving one day. I would stick with the traditional bimini design...but thats me.

[@sutv6754]

No doubt you are the inventor and seller. YIKES. Hard to believe.

[@kennethhollingmdpa4703]

Beautiful spot! Wow. Any shade is good shade to people like me. Nice job.

[@nickcoudounellis2020]

It looks a bit flimsy in the wind

[@garethwilliams6474]

How do you store the boat, inflated or not?

[@clearnewview]

Too bad it is so small and does not go all the way to the front.

[@jeffd4056]

A couple carabiners instead of those hooks would be better

[@barga.exploring]

Nice

[@michaeldautry]

For a non boater, what is star board? Thank you

[@TulasTechTalk]

It is kind of like pvc board but harder, denser, and more resistant to UV

[@bate8755]

How big is your boat?

[@VonBluesman]

Billy, get your money back. Use some heavy walled PVC plastic white pipe and some old bed sheets, you get a lot more shade and better stability and save yourself $150.00

[@HyperionTwo]

Was with you right up until you said it was $188
Edit: Its now $226 hahaha

[@jakescorpion1]

Looks more like a sail...

[@ronpreece3429]

I hope you picked up that dogs droppings lol
