Sharp’s Custom Canvas Inc., Georgetown, S.C.

This project, which won a 2010 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the tops under 27 feet category, called for an aft cockpit sunshade top with mesh shade panels. Top frame features split mount jaw slides on handrail with quick-release pins. Top frame had to match shape of bow rail and have enough pitch to shed water. Forward edge of top zips around handrail.
