The top was up in Issac and we had 45 knots of sustained wind at one point. The weak link is not the top, but the hardware that holds the bimini bows. We live in south Florida so hurricanes are an issue and if one were coming the top would have to come off. Not a big deal, you just need someplace to store it. It can be removed in one piece, it's really light. Afternoon thunderstorms can come up with 50 to 60 knots of wind and there isn't time to remove canvas or anything else sometimes. I would much rather have this up than sunbrella. We have just as much shade as the cloth bimini but with a little more light in the flybridge. Chuck
