The latest project

Brian wants to camp on the Reenie K in the worst way.. and a squirmy 13 year old on a small boat is the worst way of camping. Here's my latest project to make the Reenie K into more of a camping boat...
I bought this little tube tent (Bri calls it the sarcophagus). I'll put snaps on the deck of the boat and cut the floor out (carefully). The door will be at the stern. The back of the tent can tie off to the mast and the front can tie off to a cleat if necessary (I don't think it will be needed). It'll take a bit of fitting to work, but we'll end up with more room, a little privacy, shelter if we get some nasty weather and certainly a conversation piece! I'm waiting for delivery of the snap kit I ordered.

Here is a very rough idea of how it will look. I'll use the floor to patch areas that are open in the pics
