Living aboard in the topics is HOT, BRIGHT, and RAINY! Having a good sailboat awning is a game-changer. Everywhere we sail, we see shoddy awnings that are falling apart. So in this video, we talk about what NOT to do when designing an awning, we give you a close-up look at our awning, and show you how to design and build your own version of our “Dragon Wing’ style.
This video has been requested over and over by our patrons and viewers. It’s taken us a long time to edit, and some of this footage is 3 years old! We decided to make this video more in-depth.
