T-Top

hi gents,
I just bought a zodiac pro open 650 with a T-Top on it. The previous owner had removed the cover of the T-Top because he thougt it did lift the boot. I haven't be able to go out with strong winds or hard speeds so I have no experience of my own. Is there anybody who has experiences with T-Tops on a Rib?
Thanks rene

I've never even seen one in the UK. There aren't many days when we need protection from the sun!

Protector RIBs in New Zealand seem to use them a lot on their boats with no problems, although their RIBs are a bit bigger than yours (they start a 7.5 metres).

john, thanks
I indeed seldom see T-Tops on UK ribs. But I am hooping that our American or mediterean members have some experiences. I saw APEX have T-Tops in there program

greetings rene
