A couple of years ago I made a windshield cover out of "SunShade". It is a fine screening that blocks out a good percentage of the suns rays, but it still allows you to see out. It has worked out very well, keeps the boat from getting over heated, on most summer days. But on a real scorcher of a day, the pilot house can still get too hot.
The other problem is privacy. When we have guests staying over and sleeping in the pilot house you can see right in, when the lights are on at night. So they have to get dressed and undressed in the dark.
So this spring I am going to make one of these covers out of the blue "Sunbrella", which is what all my other canvas covers are made of. It should be a matter of simply copying the existing one.
I THINK THAT WILL HELP TO KEEP IT COOL AND PRIVATE
