We discussed exactly what kind of accommodations we should have on the boat and ultimately came up with two tarps pieced together. We were going to use two tents, one on each platform but this just did not pan out like we expected. It was too complicated and we could not use our stoves in foul weather. Once we set our anchor we will roll up the boom and sail then install a single line across from the rear mast to the front mast. Our tarps are connected to 9” bamboo and rolled out. This gives us some standing room and is pretty easy to put up in foul weather.
We are a bit concerned about heavy rain. Since it is in a lean two fashion we cannot prevent rain from coming in sideways. We thought about installing two triangle tarp sections to the ends so we would be completely enclosed and dry. Tomorrow we may see if that will work. Nonetheless, we feel pretty confident that this will suffice as our shelter.
check it!
we got some funky colors going on!
