Tent Enclosure for your Sib

This looks a neat idea if the weather gets bad. Has anyone ever seen one in use and are they available to buy in the UK

Do you think you could erect it whilst afloat? I did give some serious thought to building something like that to camp afloat in - Alystra on here used to have something he had DIY’d a bit like it.

Looking at the complete video it sort of looks like it could be put up while afloat but I think it would be difficult particularly in a wind.

This one looks to be the best I have tracked down just cant find anywhere to buy it.

In a SIB - camping out becomes the ultimate waterbed!

Make a great sail, good luck keeping your heading in a wind!
Could be great sat at anchor.

No srsly - there's the possibility of a bit of a blow coming on but you figure you could catch something so you're fumbling with your flies - and you think: "I need some protection..."
