It depends.. Nice calm day and blazing sun they work great. I don't really like my anchor shade because it's usually windy by me during the summer days and anything over 10-15 mph winds it's worthless.

I agree w/ Panther. Where we boat in NJ, the wind tore mine up after two uses and then to boot when I put it away, it caught and ripped the headliner in my old boat cabin! I was pizzed that day!
I would like to know if there is anything out there as well besides anchorshade.

I guess I'm not the only one.... The day it happened to me we had my daughter onboard who was about 6 months old at the time.. Then I couldn't get the darn thing closed back up cause it was all mandlged. Not a fun afternoon..

Love my Anchorshade...just need a boat to put under it. You can have it for half price + shipping, like new, white.
