[Rhodes22-list] PTE Question

[salm at mn.rr.com]

Wally,

I'm not home now and do not have access to my photos otherwise you could
see.  But the companionway is covered 
by a full-length flap that is zippered closed along the sides and snapped
down at the lower corners.  It has a large 
screen window with a clear plastic storm flap that rolls up/down.  Same as
the windows on the sides.

Slim,

I have owned my boat 4 plus year and still have not seen a PTE in person.

One thing I am not clear on.....what covers the companion way? Canvas? 
Screen? Both? Something different?

Wally
