Another mockup


It seems there are more people thinking about tents this winter, Osbert in Scotland has some great ideas on his blog (http://forthsailoar.osbert.org). He also started a thread (http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?166273-Sprayhood-tent-hoops-from-ply) on the WoodenBoat forum where I found some inspiration from Yeadon (post #33). So I decided to do another mock-up.

Battens/poles sewn into their pockets.

Laid out on the ridge line and pulled down to the gunwale



Not decided yet which version I like best so I will need to think a little more while I am on the lookout for tent poles or acrylic tubing....

  1. Ja det gäller ju att få till något som lätt går att fälla ihop till så litet "paket" som möjligt att stuva undan i båten. :-)

  2. Jo det är det som är tricket. Har sett på tältpinnar som man kan ta isär i 20cm bitar men jag vet inte om de ät böjbara nog, får nog köpa och testa.
