Boat blind ideas?

[John Oliver]

This is my latest "mock up" on the new boat. I hunt tidal areas so I wanted something I could drop easily and move.

Once I get my blinds where I want them, I will have the fencing material replaced with waxed canvas. I have several hunts on this set up and so far, so good.

I like the idea of waxed canvas. Sailrite sells it by the yard but never considered using it for this purpose. RM

Pretty slick setup.

Think your going to find running boat with walls dropped down like that is going to come back to haunt you. Probably going to be constantly wet when you flip them up for use. Look's neat though way you've formed to hull lines but for actual use I would have left uprights basically straight and unbent.

This version is on my 18' DH. It is copy of blind I have ran on my 14' DH for the last three years.

So far the 18' rides a lot higher than the 14' and wet material doesn't seem to be an issue. I did use synthetic material on the 14' edges. Here is the 14' (and yes I have a boat problem)
