Tod: A simple solution for mosquito netting would be a free standing, no floor "tent" of mosquito netting. I got mine from Cabela's and I plan on setting it up in the cockpit on those warm, starry nights here in Florida. I am designing a four board system to sit on slats along the cockpit sides so I can have a double bed platform for sleeping. Two boards alone can serve as a cockpit table, extra seat, etc. You should be able to fit the netting tent under the boom tent, especially if it is arched.

Probably by the time I had it all zipped up and sealed it would be dawn and the skeeters would be leaving anyway. Rich's boom tent sure is nice, but I don't think I need anything that fancy.... Quick and easy would seem to be the key. Craig, I'll bet the Conestoga (sp?) wagon thing would work but might be hard for one person to set up quickly...

I would think that it would be tough to get a tight enough fit on the hull and deck to make mosquito netting worth while. Doug Kelch "Seas the Day" --- htmills@bright.net wrote:
NonSuch?.....wishbone cat rig
*****************
Anyone have any slick design features I should include in a boom tent for Busca?
I'm thinking a basic boom tent for use at anchor with a few collapsible wands and *maybe* zip-on mosquito netting.....
Ideas?
Thanks,
Tod

That's a good move, Dick. From an M23 to a NS26. That's the proper progression. That's keeping it in the Hess family. :-) NS' are fabulous boats. --Craig

I have an old Minn Kota 12lbs thrust trolling motor that I used fly fishing on the Fall River in N.California for years. "Bones" sent me a small AGM battery that would be ideal for powering the motor, my only reservation though is that it is a fresh water motor with what appears to be a chrome plated leg and I wonder how long it might last in salt water and if there were any way to coat the vunerable parts. Dick ex M23 now NS26
