Benefits of technology

[0014]A shade cover attached to the bow rails and stanchions of a boat shields the bow from the sun and keeps the cabin below deck substantially cooler, thus a more comfortable temperature is maintained in the cabin for the enjoyment of the occupants. An ecologically-conscious benefit results with the use of the shade cover, because air conditioners would be used less to cool the cabin temperature, generators to run the air conditioners would be used less, fewer hours used on the generators to operate the air conditioner, and less fuel would be used to run the generators.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Not applicable.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003](a) Field of the Invention[0004]This invention relates to boats, specifically a new item of manufacture secured to the existing rail and / or stanchion system of the bow of the boat primarily functioning as a heat sink and deflective shield achieved by maintaining an air space between the tautly stretched material and the bow surface of the boat. The ideal application is to have full clearance of the shade plane when fastened to the rail. User preference of the product and / or the design of the boat may warrant a need for spacers to prevent the plane of the shade cover from contacting the bow surface allowing heat to be conducted to the boat surface through to the cabin below. The spacers may be secured to the boat bow shade cover or the boat. Using a material engineered to withstand the extreme weather elements ...
