Peter Nielsen, SAIL Magazine, March 2018. Read on SAIL MagazineAmong the many virtues of cruising cats is the large expanse of netting between their bows, which is the ideal place to hang out with a cold one after a hard day's sailing and let the breeze blow your worries away. Only trouble is it can get a bit hot up there without any shade, which is why the ATN Multi Awning looks like an ideal accessory. It's made from 9oz TopNotch fabric which carries an 8-year warranty and is available in 13 colors, and is stitched with UV-impervious Tenara/Goretex thread. Strong mounting points and a tent-like shape allow it to remain rigged even when the trades are huffing and puffing.
The ATN Multi Awning: Forward Awning for Catamarans 35 to 55+ ft
Heavy duty, 5-year warranty. Pricing built per boat: pick your Lagoon, Outremer, Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Balance, Bali, Manta, Nautitech, or Helia from the list below.
Reduces salon heat. Low forward windage. Made in Florida, USA.
The ATN Multi Awning is a forward sun shade built for cruising catamarans 35 to 55+ ft. It attaches at 6 points on your boat: the mast, the capshrouds (2), around the jib sail on your headstay, and the bow pulpit (2); drops salon temperature significantly at anchor; and holds steady in the wind thanks to its low-windage tent shape. Heavy duty, 5-year warranty, free US shipping. Custom-fit to your boat from four measurements. Designed by Etienne Giroire. Made in Florida.
How It Works: Three Attachment Points, Four Measurements
The Multi Awning attaches at 6 points on your boat: the mast, the capshrouds (2), around the jib sail on your headstay, and the bow pulpit (2). The tent-like shape keeps forward windage low and lets the awning hold steady in the wind. Each awning is custom-cut from four measurements taken on your own deck, so the fit is tight and quiet at anchor.
The four measurements you'll need at order time are taken at 6 ft above deck (possibly 7 ft if you're tall). First, mast to headstay (the distance from the mast to the headstay or the furled headsail from the forward edge of the mast to the aft edge of your furled sail). Second, capshroud to front of mast. Third, bow pulpit mounting point to the point you have selected on your furled jib sail. Fourth, capshroud to pulpit fore-aft length. If your boat has an inner stay add dimensions to show us where that lands between the mast & the forestay at the Shade height. For Bali-style boats that attach to the coach roof rather than the capshrouds, the layout uses three through-bolted pad eyes instead.
It really cools down the salon as it reduces significantly the sun coming in the windows and heating the interior. It's great.

Pricing
Pick your catamaran from the dropdown below (or click a featured-boat card) for an instant price. Solid TopNotch fabric adds 20% to the price for water-repellent durability; Shade fabric (breathable mesh) is the default and lets water and most gusts through, so it can stand a better chance of surviving a squall.

Product specs
The Multi Awning is built from heavy-duty commercial material in two fabric options: a breathable shade mesh, or a solid TopNotch fabric. UV resistance is excellent and these are stitched with a highly UV-resistant PTFE thread. SAIL Magazine's 2018 review of the press unit reported a 9 oz TopNotch fabric, an 8-year fabric warranty, and 13 colors; the current production build's customer warranty is the 5-year coverage shown in our hero and trust signals. Read on SAIL Magazine
Setup is easy and fast. There is a point top/center to attach a halyard to (a loop directly underneath allows you to support a hanging chair from this point). You attach using a soft wrap around the furled jib sail and to a hard point (or wrapped around) the front of your mast. Tie off using the included line to your pulpit seat attachment points and the capshrouds then a couple lines to your life lines for additional tensioning. Typically 3 to 4 minutes to setup. The wind rating is approximately 20 knots; but we have had owner reports of these comfortably surviving 30 and 40 knot squalls with no ill effect.
We have dimensions for a number of boat models in stock or these can be custom-cut from your four measurements. The shop is in Pinellas Park, FL. Free US shipping is standard; international freight is quoted at order.

Specs & Care
Fabric
Shade option: architectural-grade HDPE shade mesh that lets water and most wind through (safe to leave up in a squall). Solid option: TopNotch or Sunbrella (+20% for custom Sunbrella colors, contact us to order this). Both run about 9 oz per yard. Stitching is UV-resistant PTFE. Architectural shade material has a 10 year warranty, overall each Shade has a 5 year warranty.
Wind rating
Rated for use up to approximately 20 knots apparent, although owners have reported these comfortably surviving squalls of 30 and even 40 knots, they're still recommended to take it down when winds exceed 25 knots steady for the SHADE and 18 to 20 knots for the solid materials.
Care instructions
Hose off salt with fresh water after offshore use. Roll, rather than fold, for storage in the original bag. Tighten straps and tensioners on first hoist; the fabric stretches slightly in the first hour of sun. Store dry; if you put the awning away wet, open it up at the next opportunity to prevent mildew. Solid (Sunbrella / TopNotch) builds should be lowered above the rated apparent wind. Shade (mesh) builds let water and gusts through.
Warranty terms
5-year warranty on materials and workmanship under normal cruising use. Storm damage, abrasion damage, and modifications outside ATN's instructions are not covered. Send photos and a description if you ever need warranty work or out-of-warranty repair. Made in Florida, USA.

Shade fabric breathes and lets water through, which means you can leave it up in a squall. Solid fabric (Sunbrella / TopNotch) repels water but needs to be set tight with good incline.

Where to use it
Cooling the salon on a Lagoon, Helia, or Leopard at anchor
The single most cited benefit. The Lagoon 450 owner on file put it directly: "It really cools down the salon as it reduces significantly the sun coming in the windows." Anchored cats with large salon windows are exactly the boats where a forward awning saves a degree or two of cabin temperature for the cost of one hot afternoon's work. Just as importantly it gives you a lot more additional usable outdoor space on your trampolines by shading a substantial portion of your foredeck.
Trade-wind anchoring on Outremer, Fountaine Pajot, Balance
The hero use case for the 50+ ft segment. SAIL Magazine's Peter Nielsen put the trade-wind point on the record in 2018: "Strong mounting points and a tent-like shape allow it to remain rigged even when the trades are huffing and puffing." Read on SAIL Magazine
Catamarans paired with a Tacker for forward attachment
Some customers prefer to use the ATN Tacker, which holds the tack at the bow pulpit and gives the awning a clean leading-edge tension. The Tacker is the natural companion product for the forward attachment point. See the Pairs With section below.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have an inner forestay or babystay?
If you have an inner forestay or a babystay that adds a little complication to the awning design, but we can accommodate it. It typically adds about $350 to the cost, and we just need to know the location of that between your mast and your forestay at the shade height to properly design the awning around it.
What measurements do you need to quote a Multi Awning?
Multi Awnings are custom-cut in our Pinellas Park, FL shop. To quote yours, we need the four measurements taken at 6 ft above deck: mast to headstay, port-to-starboard capshroud width, max bow pulpit width, and capshroud to pulpit fore-aft length. For Bali-style boats that attach to the coach roof rather than the capshrouds, the layout uses three through-bolted pad eyes. Pricing is by boat length; select your LOA from the dropdown above for an instant price, or request a quote and include your boat make / model / year.
Can you make a custom forward awning for my catamaran, and what materials are available?
Yes. Every Multi Awning is custom-built for your boat from your four measurements at 6 ft (7 ft if you're on the tall side) above deck. The finished awning is cut about 10 percent smaller than the raw measurements so it sets up tight and quiet on a spare or spinnaker halyard. Choose shade material (breathable, water-passing, safe in a squall) or Sunbrella / TopNotch solid (water-repellent, needs to be set tight). Both run about 9 oz per yard.
Where do you ship to?
We ship anywhere in the US for free. International orders require a freight quote; the shop will send the awning UPS or USPS Priority Mail International based on the destination country. For international shipping see the Worldwide Dealers page for a local routing option.
Shade material or solid material?
Two options. Shade material is a breathable mesh; it lets water and most of the wind through, so you can leave it rigged in a squall and in trade winds. Solid material is Sunbrella or TopNotch; it repels water but needs to be set tight with good incline, and should be lowered above the rated apparent wind. Most customers choose the architectural shade mesh material for improved durability and the fact that it can be left up in higher wind conditions.

ATN Tacker
The ATN Tacker is used as the forward attachment point on multiple Multi Awning installs (see gallery caption above). The Tacker holds the tack at the bow pulpit and gives the awning a clean leading-edge tension, which is the geometry that makes the Multi Awning ride steady in the trades.
