Make your own hatch cover canopy wind scoop with the Sailrite® Hatch Canopy Wind Scoop Kit. A hatch canopy is designed to protect an open hatch from sun and rain while allowing airflow in the cabin. The cover can be raised to increase airflow or lowered to help keep rain and moisture out. The canopy also provides excellent shade protection over the hatch. The hatch canopy is made from SureRite™. This tough, nonabrasive, 100% solution-dyed polyester fabric offers excellent weather and abrasion resistance with good breathability. A spring batten sewn into the fabric along the front of the hatch scoop can be shortened or lengthened with the included SuperShok™ Bungee Cord to create a low or high arch. A high arch allows for maximum airflow and a greater angle for rain runoff. A lower arch allows the hatch cover to block more inclement weather while still ventilating the cabin. The hatch cover attaches to the boat in three places. Two stabilizing lines at the rear of the wind scoop are secured to stanchions or shrouds, while the adjustable front bungee is secured around the forestay wire, furled sail or bow pulpit.
