They might go onto roof glass panels.

Hello,

These are used on top the cabin rooftop for the skylights. There are snaps on the roof top for these. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I have no such thing on my 2020 R23... Sun beaming in through the skylights (esp directly over the helm seat) is an issue for me. I've been working on a simple solution.

Was this an option of which I wasn't aware? Also, I assume the snaps are inside? The only other option would be outside on the roof, which would prohibit one from being able to open the skylights.

The only 2 pieces of canvas that I have that fit those dimensions are for the front windshield (2ea, about 5' long)... but there's no mesh in the middle.

Hello,

We no longer use these as we had changed the glass for the skylights. There are the skylights, solid sealed in glass, then there are the overhead hatches that open, these never had canvas covers. However, you can order black out screens for the overhead hatches through Jim Black, https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/catal ... i9EALw_wcB, you just want to make sure you order the correct size for the hatch. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

yup, you guys are correct. They go outside the boat, on top and covering the two fixed skyliights. Thanks all for helping out.

I have been making some sun shades out of Phifertex for my 2019 R23. Pretty easy to do. I buy all the supplies from Sailrite. There is a type of snap (called SNADS) that uses 3M glue to glue onto the window. You should have them on some of your current exterior canvas work.

Would love to share pictures...but haven't figured out how on the forum! 😉

Would love to share pictures...but haven't figured out how on the forum! 😉

There are two ways to embed images in your posts.

If the picture you want to include is in one of your gallery folders (on Tugnuts), click on the g2Imgbutton. That will open another window which will allow you to browse your galleries and select a picture. Be patient, it can take a while for the new window to populate. It should default to your album when it opens.

Click the box in the upper left of the picture you want to post. Scroll (way) down to the bottom of the window and click Submit. That will attach the picture to your post.

If the picture isn't in your gallery, perhaps something you've seen elsewhere on the web, or in another personal web collection (i.e. flickr, iCloud, google, etc.) then you click the Img button. The image/collection must be open to the public.

This will create the following string in your posting window - then you copy and paste the URL (http://whatever...jpg) of the desired image in the middle, between the ][ brackets. The trick here is to determine the direct URL of the image. Various image hosting sites show it in different ways. Sometimes it's right up in the address bar. Other times it's listed under "Share This Image", etc.

You can determine if you have the correct URL by hitting the Preview button. If it displays, you're good to go. If it's not correct, the form will give you some kind of clue so you can go back and dig around. You'll only have to figure it out once for each host.

Getting a User Photo Album is easy but it requires submitting a request from within the site structure.

1. Sign on to the site. 

2. Select the User Control Panel link from the upper left corner of any page. Note: On the home page, this link is in your user menu in the upper right.

3. Click the Usergroups tab, then select the radio button next to the User Albums group.
Scroll down, choose "Join selected" in the drop-down menu, and click the Submit button.

Once you do this, an email is automatically sent to the administrator (me). That message will trigger my ability to approve your request, and you'll receive an email indicating your membership in the UserAlbums group has been activated.

I'll watch for the message, and look forward to seeing your pictures.

Cheers,


Bruce
