Wind break

[Julian Porter]

My mooring is quite exposed to the wind. I didn’t really want to go to the expense of a spray hood just to use it on the mooring and wondered if anyone has used some kind of wind break / deflector on the deck?

Hi Julian

I made a boom tent which attaches to small hooks I fitted to the underside of the strakes. Works ok but doesn’t give as good protection as a sprayhood and a couple of times came loose.

If the purpose is to keep out rain from the hatch / companion way could you have a canvas sheet made up that clips to the coach roof hand rails and sits on the deck protecting the vulnerable areas? Luckily it doesn't rain here much

Good idea, Chris.

Gloating is such an ungentlemanly trait, Chris
