Snapdragon 24

Tbh. I think at this late stage in the game
Wansey could buy anything and we would all have to have a sit down ( and reach for the champagne).

I can't see how a bimini would work on a Snappie 24 because of the position of the mainsheet, and I agree with Wansworth, that a sprayhood is essential. Our tent attached to the sprayahood, and had zipped panels that rolled up, so worked as a bimini at anchor or under power, but gave the advantage of a full enclosure when it got chilly or wet.

And curtains for the discreet al fresco nookie?

That’s quite low on my list…..although a friend of mine had an all over cockpit cover and he rigged up a shower for him and his girlfriend on his Vega

Of course

Of course

That must be the French influence

We often made use of a 'solar' shower (with black water bag left on the side deck in the sun to warm up) in the cockpit of my former 23 footer, but without need for a cockpit canopy - we were either at sea, or anchored far enough from other boats to not need an enclosure to spare (enough) our and their blushes. Come to think of it, hanging a towel or whatever over the guard rails might provide enough screening unless you were in a marina and overlooked.

Which reminds me I once had a 'bath' in the cockpit of my Hurley 22 many years ago, by blocking the cockpit drains and half-filling the cockpit it from the marina water supply. It did take an awful lot of water though, and I think I probably bathed with my swimming trunks on.

Of course, there's also the Maurice Griffiths style of stripping off and plunging over the side at dawn every morning. (Though maybe not in the marina! )

Yes the black bag shower is great
