Hatch Scoops & Tents

Wind scoops assist in circulating air through your boat aiding in mold prevention and eliminating old air. Hatch ventilators aren't air conditioning, but a nice breeze always helps. Best used while mooring, scoops are a passive answer to heat down below. Hatch tents protect open hatches from the sun.

Are hatch ventilators expensive?

Lightweight hatch scoops and tents are fabricated of flag stock nylon or polyester and are an affordable (and quiet) alternative to air conditioning or fans. Most hatch ventilators are offered complete with stow bags in a variety of colors. Halyard style and self-supporting wind scoops make installation easy and support passive ventilation for a bargain.

When is the best time to use a wind scoop?

Sailboats that are moored will naturally turn toward the wind and a boat air scoop installed properly will direct air right down into your boat. At the dock, hatch ventilators can easily be moved around the hatch to catch the wind. Trying to utilize a wind scoop while sailing or running may have disastrous results as most hatch scoops are fabricated of lightweight (not wind resistant) materials.

What happens if it rains?

Wind chutes and hatch tents are usually made of nylon or UV resistant polyester materials which are not water-resistant. Lightweight materials could, in some cases, collapse and even funnel water right down the hatch so it is best to close hatches when rain is imminent.
