[Rhodes22-list] Mosquito Netting

[johnsondan at comcast.net]

Mosquito Netting - we purchased from Vermont Army Navy - at $8.00 per yard seems like nice stuff.  We bought enough to cover from front of cabin top to rear of cockpit for less than $200.  Encloses entire boat so we can sleep in the cockpit if we choose to.  My wife seamed across top and put snaps in at each end to snap around mast and around main sheet below the boom.  Seems to be fairly snug with no real gaps for bugs to enter.
