Boom Tent

The boom tent is almost finished—just need to hem the bottom of the back panel and add some chafe pads where the sides hit the cabin.
It doesn't show too well here. The sides could be a bit longer at the mid-point, but at least the tent overlaps the coamings.
Drove screw eyes into the transom for the aft tie-downs. The forward tie-down goes to the deck cleat and back into the cockpit to the jib sheet cleat. The middle tie-down goes to a little hook fastened under the gunnel and ties to itself. The back flap may get a tie-down or two as needed.
Not elegant, but hopefully functional and durable enough for a few winters.
