Seen an umbrella this summer blow out of someone's cockpit that was not strapped down. Everyone in the cove was clapping when he finally caught up to it.

We tried an anchor shade.. a lil breeze and you had to snug it up!
Got a bimini instead!, works great, quick to put up with quick cleats and straps on front. Does good cruising, but dont go over 45-50.
Ours covers whole cockpit! Lays down on head rests when running and can put up in 30 secs.

The bimini on my boat only covers the front two bolsters, I wanted to extend it a bit but wasn't impressed by the Anchor Shade for the money. I picked up a 9' diameter beach umbrella with telescoping pole for about half the price on Amazon. Has a fringe with HD grommets which I used a polycord to attach it to end of bimini to make an extension. Not best looking setup, but functioned very well and covered the back seat and half of sun pad on 380 Powerquest. Very sturdy when wind blew too and folds as easy as any umbrella.

I had a bimini that came with my 30 Superboat from the previous owner. I used it once. It provided a decent amount of shade and was good up to about 50 MPH. I have an anchor shade too. Had it for years and only used it a handful of times. What boat do you have?
