Re: Navy Top ?

You know I knew someone would have that SAR. Its "Blue"

However I don't think thats the answer. At least not the answer I am looking for. :D

Terry - Navy top attaches to the top of the windshield, like the one in my avatar. Much better than a bimini for protection from rain and spray, but at the expense of visibility and ventilation! When original top wore out I replaced it with a bimini. Don't know where the name came from.

Re: Navy Top ?

The Navy top comes from the civilian copying of the canopy on the old captain's gig, according to my neighbor, who is 84 years old, and a retired Navy Lt. Commander. I asked them what they called it in the Navy back in WWII, and he said they just called it the boat canopy.
