Our 2002 Hunter 270 has rectangular panels of sunbrella that attach to our Bimini to provide "sidewalls" for sun (wind, rain) protection. The panels quickly attach/detach with plastic clips. We usually use them when we are at the dock, using the cockpit; we simply would not use the cockpit as much if we did not have them. We have even sailed with the "stern" panel up.
We would be interested in hearing about other methods of cockpit sun protection that do not involve a full cockpit enclosure, including how they attach to the Bimini.
