Described herein are examples of a watercraft with a hull defining a hull cavity. A canopy may be removably coupled to the hull via a canopy interface. The canopy interface includes a first portion fixed to the hull and a second portion fixed to the canopy. The first portion defines an opening through the hull into the hull cavity. The second portion is configured to be removably coupled to the first portion to enclose and seal the opening whereby the canopy interface is configured to interchangeably couple any one of a plurality of different canopies including the canopy to the hull. Each canopy of the plurality of different canopies may include a different configuration that provides a different access opening into the hull cavity or reconfigures the hull with a different outer profile.

A combination radar arch and bimini top includes a radar arch securable on a boat deck over a boat cabin and a bimini top assembly secured to the radar arch. The bimini top assembly includes at least one bimini top base secured on the radar arch, a bimini arm pivotally connected to the bimini top base, and a spring-loaded roller assembly secured to the radar arch and including a canopy connected between the radar arch and the bimini arm. The bimini top base has a drive mechanism coupled with the bimini arm that is configured to displace the bimini arm between a retracted position and an extended position.

A shade system includes a first track and a second track spaced a distance away from the first track, a shade is connected or interconnected to the track to slide along the track, and a cassette positioned at an end of the shade to receive the wound shade therein. The shade system may be configured to cover an area where the distance between the first and second track may varies. The shade may comprise a top section and a bottom section, and a central overlap portion to allow the top and bottom sections to slide with respect to each other. The shade may further include a plurality of adjacent panels configured to slide with respect to each other to provide shade coverage of an area where the first and second tracks are spaced apart at varying distances. The panels may be interconnected by guide wires and top and bottom sections may be supported by telescoping support rods.

Object: The costs required from manufacturing to attachment of an awning to a cruiser are reduced by dividing an awning that had been manufactured by attaching sheets to a frame into a plurality of divided body portions made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and connecting the divided body portions to constitute the awning adapted to various sizes.

Solution Means: A light shielding roof panel 2 made of fiber-reinforced plastic to be disposed at the top of an open cabin Cl of a cruiser C is divided parallel to a central axis X in a front-rear direction into three divided bodies in a plan view including a central divided body 3 and left and right-side divided bodies 4 bilaterally symmetric via the central divided body 3, and the central divided body 3 and the left and right-side divided bodies 4 are respectively divided at an appropriate straight line Y orthogonal to the central axis X into two parts respectively including a central divided body front portion 3a and a central divided body rear portion 3b, and left and right-side divided body front portions 4a and left and right-side divided body rear portions 4b.

A collapsible fin shade apparatus for a boat.

A rigid weather guard for a center console of a power boat includes a rapidly deployable protective shield. The shield has a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge that is pivotably connectable with a portion of the boat, and a second side edge that is configured for connection with a gunwale of the power boat. The pivotable connection of the first side edge provides movement between an open and closed position. When in the open position, the second side edge is connected with the gunwale securing the shield in place to block adverse weather. Preferably, the protective shield has a transparent portion.

A sliding roof panel assembly for covering a roof opening of a marine craft is disclosed. The sliding roof panel assembly comprises a slide guide for attachment along one side of the roof opening, a roof panel which is slidably moveable between an open and lifted position and a closed and lowered position, the roof opening being covered by the roof panel in the closed and lowered position, and a slide assembly guided for travel along the slide guide and supporting the roof panel. The slide guide has a slide track and a guide rail, the slide track and the guide rail each extending along the slide guide, the guide rail having a forward depressed portion and a rearward raised portion. The slide assembly comprises a drive slide driveably moveable along the slide track of the slide guide, a guide rail follower supported by and moveable along the guide rail, the guide rail follower supporting the roof panel, and a first lever, linking the drive slide and the roof panel via respective rotatable links. In use, the roof panel is slidably moveable from the open and lifted position to the closed and lowered position by driving the drive slide forward in the slide track to move the guide rail follower forward along the rearward raised portion of the guide rail until the guide rail follower reaches the forward depressed portion of the guide rail. The guide rail follower travels downwardly along the forward depressed portion of the guide rail relative to the drive slide by the weight of the roof panel and rotation of the first lever, the roof panel following the movement of the guide rail follower downwardly towards the closed and lowered position.

A solar powered aquatic vessel includes a hull having an overall length equal to a length of a waterline and a maximum hull draft at station that is located at a position that is approximately 30% of the overall length of the hull. A bottom of the hull has an approximately linear slope from a maximum beam to a transom forming a stern of the hull. A canopy is connected to the hull of the solar powered aquatic vessel and supports at least one photovoltaic panel connected to a photovoltaic system positioned in the hull. The photovoltaic system generates electrical power from a sun that is equal to or greater than an electrical power necessary to propel the solar powered vehicle, and a motor operatively connected to the photovoltaic system.

A bimini top for a boat. The bimini top includes a cover and a frame supporting the cover. The frame may include a first support pivotally connected to an inboard side of a first leg of a tower. The first support has a profile in a stowed position that, when viewed from the port side in the stowed position, is hidden behind the portion of the first leg with the first profile. The frame may also include a second support pivotally connected to an inboard side of a second leg of the tower. The second support has a profile in the stowed position that, when viewed from the starboard side in the stowed position, is hidden behind the portion of the second leg with the second profile. The bimini top may also include a line including a plurality of hangers is integrally formed in the line.
