Talk is ongoing for a couple of nights away down to Portarlington and Swan Bay next week. I saw a really nifty boat tent on a Scamp down in Hobart which I have drawn on for this set up. Frame is a hoop of fibreglass tent poles. Two bent bits of aluminium tube fit into the rowlock fitting, which means the curve on the poles is a bit less severe. T joints connect a longitudinal.
Of fibreglass poles,tightened by a loop of cord. It makes a robust structure connected onto the dodger,which already provides a bit of shelter. Nice thick canvas tarp fits over that. A bit funky but I've seen worse. And I think I can enhance it a bit with some fiddling.
If I can get some energy I would like to test before next week.
With the mast up I can open out that rear section which makes it feel a lot more spacious.
