Yes, I was afraid of that.

Chris,
  I've now doubt of the following regardless of the material selected  :  
The lighter the color the longer the life of the material's integrity  .  
Overtime, both require seam sealant reapplication to maintain water  
resistance.   Whatever material selected, intense, daily exposure to
sunlight and 
salt significantly increase the development of their aging.   Therefore, if 
daily use in an intensely "abusive" environ is required , I would  pay the 6
to 
8X cost increase per yard for the lightest color , heaviest weight  
Sunbrella available, rather than ripstop spinnaker cloth.

I do  like the idea of the lightweight and durability, the stuff is  bullet
proof.  I was thinking of sun protection for my son's old boat  down in
Mexico.  The sun is a killer on the Sea of Cortez.  He  and some friends are
restoring the boat and a sun shade is one thing they  will need.

Hi  Chris,
I'm sorry I fail to recall the SPF .... perhaps because it was and  is the  
material of choice due to all it's other characteristics....  however that 
new  carbon fiber/kevlar stuff although costing much  should have an SPF 
that

is out  of sight.  This UV treated  Rip stop nylon is the stuff that is 
used 
in most  of those hot air  balloons.... talk about abuse.... roaring 
propane 
flames along  with  the Sunny days... Their pilots are required to do 
puncture/pressure  like  testing .... so they get to make a controlled crash
rather  
than a crash.   If sunbrella was a dollar or two a yard, I would  probably 
consider it... for a  bimini or sail cover....   I  find that I tend to use
the 
bimini for  maybe 30% of my sailing,  usually when anchored, rain showers, 
or

delicate "rail  meat" ...  the nature of the material makes it easy to 
stow, 
and depending on  the  color selected , it's translucency and UV lifespan 
is 
variable.  

Burt...

I recall   somewhere that the SPF of that material is very low.  Does  
anyone
know  what it is?  I know the fabric itself has been  treated to stand up  
to
the UV but what kind of protection does in  provide?  Just  curious.

Hi  Rummy!
Perhaps you or some of the other Rhodes  Owners would be  interested  in
exploring the use of new, UV  treated Rip-stop nylon  spinnaker cloth ,  
translucent, various  colors and wts. for this or  other uses.    Sunbrella 
 
is

opaque, and would have a greater  life span.... HOWEVER, my  price is  less
than 10% the cost of  sunbrella per yard.  If  it is used for just  periods 
of
boat use,  it should be as  durable as a moderate/heavy wt.  spinnaker.   I
also have  light wt. spinnaker cloth available, for sails,  wind   breakers,
bags, etc..  
If anyone is seriously interested  they  could  contact me for samples of
material,color, wt, solid  brass  grommets, etc...  .

This   one  got through.  What keeps the  shade from tilting and  falling  
into
the   water?
