356 Hunter best sun shade awning?

[star302]

Hi,
We have a 356 Hunter. We do have a Bimini, however when on the mooring or slip and it rains or is hot, we need a bit more shade. I am trying to find the best available premade sun shade that is easy to clip in place and will give coverage from our Bimini forward. I have seen them that go over boom and clip to the life lines/stanchions. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thank you,
Lauri

Its called a boom tent down here. I fashioned one purchased from this site, maybe a 9 x 12 sunbrella canvas with grommets , then had a seamstress cut a slot in it for the mainsail out haul. Its surprising that you have a problem with sun in Connecticut?

Thank you for responding. Yes, it can be pretty warm here in CT. This upcoming weekend in the high 80's/90 mark. Sitting out in the open can get pretty hot. Also need shade protection in general and from rain. Thank you again for the great idea!

protection ... from rain

When it rains up here we move the party inside.
