Ponding, every time
Water collects, the cloth stretches, and it collects faster. Every panel we cut has a designed low corner and a drain, which is the single difference between a cover that lasts and one that tears in its second autumn.

Shade that is still up
when the meltemi gets in.
An awning is a sail that nobody trims. It has to hold a shape in twenty-five knots, drain rather than pond, and come down in four minutes when it will not. Most of them fail one of the three.

- Solution-dyed acrylic, ten-year fade
- Struck by two people in four minutes
What we make
Patterned on the boat, sewn on the loft floor
Nothing matches that search. to see everything.
How we work
Why awnings fail, in the order they fail
The stitching goes before the cloth
Sun destroys polyester thread years before it touches solution-dyed acrylic. We sew in PTFE, which costs more per reel and outlives the fabric it is holding together.
We pattern on board
Two people, a roll of pattern film and half a day on the boat. Drawings do not show that the handrail was moved in a refit, and a cover cut from drawings arrives four centimetres out.
It has to strike quickly
Crew leave an awning up in rising wind because taking it down is a twenty-minute job with three people. Ours come down with two in four minutes, so they actually get struck.
“The previous bimini ponded every time it rained and drummed all night at anchor. They came aboard, patterned the whole thing in an afternoon, and the replacement has been through two meltemi seasons without a mark. The crew take it down in about three minutes.”
