Thanks Alfredo,

Sun awning

Yep, I did some more research and I have to say it looks like sun awning is more accurate for tendalino.


A clever Mochi-Dolphin innovation is presented at the cockpit. While open to the sun and fresh air, a very special sun shade slides out from the flybridge coping on two rigid arms. Called the “Tendalino”, this electro-hydraulically operated awning provides direct, but clear shade over the entire cockpit area.

agree  Alfredo Tutino: at least in Italy, a bimini top is a particular kind of sun awning - in my father's boat we have a "tendalino", but we'd never call it "bimini". Generally, a "tendalino" cannot be used when the mainsail is up, a "bimini" often can
