Hi Chris,
I'm sorry I fail to recall the SPF .... perhaps because it was and is the  
material of choice due to all it's other characteristics.... however that 
new  carbon fiber/kevlar stuff although costing much should have an SPF that 
is out  of sight.  This UV treated Rip stop nylon is the stuff that is used 
in most  of those hot air balloons.... talk about abuse.... roaring propane 
flames along  with the Sunny days... Their pilots are required to do 
puncture/pressure like  testing .... so they get to make a controlled crash rather 
than a crash.   If sunbrella was a dollar or two a yard, I would probably 
consider it... for a  bimini or sail cover....   I find that I tend to use the 
bimini for  maybe 30% of my sailing, usually when anchored, rain showers, or 
delicate "rail  meat" ... the nature of the material makes it easy to stow, 
and depending on the  color selected , it's translucency and UV lifespan is 
variable. 
 
Burt...

I recall  somewhere that the SPF of that material is very low.  Does anyone
know  what it is?  I know the fabric itself has been treated to stand up  to
the UV but what kind of protection does in provide?  Just  curious.

Hi  Rummy!
Perhaps you or some of the other Rhodes Owners would be  interested  in
exploring the use of new, UV treated Rip-stop nylon  spinnaker cloth ,  
translucent, various colors and wts. for this or  other uses.    Sunbrella 
is

opaque, and would have a greater  life span.... HOWEVER, my price is  less
than 10% the cost of  sunbrella per yard.  If it is used for just  periods 
of
boat use,  it should be as durable as a moderate/heavy wt.  spinnaker.   I
also have light wt. spinnaker cloth available, for sails,  wind  breakers,
bags, etc..  
If anyone is seriously interested they  could  contact me for samples of
material,color, wt, solid brass  grommets, etc...  .

This   one  got through.  What keeps the shade from tilting and  falling

the  water?
