Always looking for innovation, I found a cockpit tent produced by Gaastra
who used to make sails for me in the days of the windsurfing circuit.
I've posted [size=134]pic's [/SIZE][font=Tahoma][size=134] in the photo section, taken during a typical Lakeland shower.
I[/SIZE][/font]t consists of two inflatable supporting tubes, rather like the igloo tents of the
'60's and '70's. The fabric is a lightweight ripstop designed for mountaineering.
There is increased useable space compared with a traditional tent because of the
tunnel configuration. The whole structure is very light and packs down to nothing.
Just blow and there it is. Ideal for the Cutter.
Oh by the way, I have imported a "sun awning" from Shadetree in the USA for
Granny's yacht and [size=134]my igloo needs a good home!
