ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved arch for a boat. The improved arch includes at least one channel which extends at least partially along the port and starboard sides of the arch and at least partially across the top member of the arch. The channel is designed to receive water and direct that water away from the cockpit area of the boat. Additionally, the present invention includes a canopy mounting system particularly adapted for the arch of the present invention. The system includes a first locking strip attachment to a surface. The first member includes at least one fastening channel having a restricted opening. A locking member is adapted to be attached to a canopy and has at least one locking flange for insertion into the fastening channel of the locking strip. The canopy can be repeatedly connected to and disconnected by positioning the locking member against the locking strip and pressing against the locking member to force flanges into the fastening channel of the locking strip. The locking member can be removed from the channel by pulling the locking member away from the channel to disengage the flange from the fastening channel. The locking member is particularly well-suited for use with the boat arch.
