How to choose the right model?
When choosing a model, it is important to start from the width of the boat, area of use and desired coverage area. A smaller sun canopy for a boat is often suitable for open boats and RIB models where low weight and easy handling are prioritized. For larger motorboats, a model with more arches can provide better stability and a larger shaded area. Also consider the speed the construction is intended for and whether the arches should be made of aluminum or stainless steel. The right roof for your boat provides both better comfort and longer use time during the season.
