Pete,

I envy you.  Key Largo is a great area for sailing.  I bought the
mosquito net at Campmor for $39.99.  See this link:

It is a bit large, but gave us extra material to tuck in.  We basically
just hung it from the boom and tucked it under the seat cushions in the
cockpit and over the pop-top.  To seal around the edge of the cabin, we
simply rolled up towels, Tee shirts, etc. and set them on top of the
netting around the edge of the cabin top where the pop-top rests when it
is not up.

Hi Bill,

 

Thanks for the update. I am the guy that just bought Lake Hartwell Red
Rhodes and brought it with me to Key Largo for Keys sailing. 

 

Anyway things are going good on that. My RHODES is in excellent
condition but is fairly bare bones at the moment.  I cant afford right
now thew pop top enclosure or boom room. Anyway in your travel log you
mentioned that you had a huge mosquito net that covered over the boom,
bimini, cockpit and pop top and for now that sounds like something I
could do for camping out purposes. Where did you buy this and can you be
more specific on how you 'rig' it. THANKS. Pete
