New TACO Marine® J-Lock Sunshade System

Taco Marine J-Lock

June 13, 2024

The new TACO Marine® J-Lock Sunshade System is a lightweight, secure and robust shade package designed to seamlessly integrate with a boat’s gunnel for fast, reliable shade.

Featuring a Twist & Lock plunger design, the lightweight fiberglass shade pole easily inserts into the Type-316L base, then twists and locks the pole in place for a safe and secure connection. 

The pole base features a Type-316L polished stainless steel J-Lock that remains locked when setup. To remove the pole, simply push down, untwist and remove it from the base. Once removed, the plunger cap returns to its flush position for an elegant integration in the gunnel. At the top of the fiberglass pole, a Type-316L stainless-steel fitting allows for an easy D-ring attachment from your custom fabric to the top of the pole.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
