Default Passive solar cooling of your boat

Would this work?
Put a water soaked blanket on the deck (or over the cabin). It would
cool the surface below by evaporation in sunlight. When the water
evaporated, you'd pour more water onto it. If salt water, you'd have
to pour enough to remove the salt left behind by evaporation.
