It makes a lot more sense now i've had a few replies,when i first got the
boat last year i found a big rectangle of blue
canvas i figured would likely be a cockpit tent however when looking at the length of the boom i figured i'd have to rig lines somehow to actually provide shade over the cockpit(aft by the way),i put that in the too hard basket and forgot about it over
winter.I was sat in the cockpit with a
beer yesterday just thinking about how to rig reefing lines,whilst exploring what attachments i had it turned -scratched
head a little,undid the line securing it and pulled it out-scratched
head some more and drank some more
beer then asked the question on here.
It turns out it extends almost to the backstay and will cover the cockpit perfectly,i'll dig out the
canvas from the shed and try it next time i'm on the boat,my guess it will be the perfect fit!
