Privacy and sun protection is provided in the pilot house by Textilene Sunshure snap on sun screens. They are semitransparent & allow a fair view out.

Also note the white tarp covering the canvas cockpit enclosure. We find that on hot sunny days blue canvas acts as a solar collector & heats up the interior. The white tarp keeps the interior at the same temperature as outside air.

We also added Rain Hoods to the aft ports, port & starboard to allow ventilation on rainy days.

Also note the solar “anchor” light – probably not up to standards but they are a very practical solution to being seen at night.

The GPS receiver for the laptop, an Altina G Mouse designed for car use, sits on a home made mount at the aft of the pilot house roof.
