Default The Best Cockpit, not a 35.5 MG midget

Frank,

Do you have screening on all your opening ports?


On all the boats I've owned in the past. My last boat didn't have
side opening ports, but I made velcro attached screens for the top
opening hatches and made a framed screen hatchboard for the
companionway. Also made a clamp on awning for the companionway slide
cover that extended about a foot out over the companionway so that you
could leave the screen hatch up in all but the worst rain storms.

Near the barrier islands (Ship, Cat, and Horn) where I spent most of
my overnights, the mosquitos are fairly bad year round.
