Hi there, can anyone suggest a good value cockpit tent we can us on our SO 39i? We are looking for something for an occasional use, so we don't really want to spend too much.
Many thanks in advance for any top tips/ideas.
cheers

Carter, Are you UK based?
I have one for our 45DS in the garage we don't use. We used it for 1 year. The tent is made form Sunbrella by Owen Sails, has two large windows and covers the spray hood to the stern and port to starboard. It will probably need some adjustment if you're interested. I'm not at home until the last two weeks of this month but can take some photos. Ian

Hi,
Thanks for the link hoppy.
Ian, we are based in the UK south coast. Would be great to see some pics if you have some.
Many thanks

I have something like hoppy for my boat. The guy made it wrong to a degrees. The back corners will fold up and forward to a zipper and stay open. I get in on back sides into the cockpit as I do not have a stern walk thru.
I wanted a vertical zipper in middle to make a bit easier access more forward.
Make sure the wide are out beyond the seat backs, or rain and drips will end up on you back.

West Marine carries an AnchorShade Tent that is adjustable with a sturdy center pole and it fits over the boom. We have used it for several years for both shade and light rain for our DS 43. It is nylon with four adjustable lines and clips and stiff battens, and is easy to store in its nylon bag, including the pole.
