The boat we had on flotilla last year had a mosquito net for the
companionway. It was basically a piece of simple, rectangular netting
into which light(ish) chain had been sewn along three edges. The top two
corners had bits of string with which to tie the net to the hand-rails
on the cabin-top. The chain was enough to keep the net down and stop
bugs getting in. My wife has *huge* problems with bugs, well, mostly
wasps, but she's worried anything that buzzes and flies is a wasp and is
likely to go overboard in panic[1]. It is therefore quite important that
we can keep the cabin buzz free.

I've Googled for boat and mosquito net, and all I can find is those
hatch covers that fit over roof hatches, not for the companionway. We
don't have a sewing machine so can't knock one up, any ideas where we
might find one?
