It fits the Hobie accessory mount base, with an aluminum mast and an over-center beam that collapses quickly if weather comes in. Rear hooks fasten to the pre-installed padeyes and bungees, and sliding adjusters tilt the shade as the sun moves. A storage bag is included, and it comes in three colors.
