Abstract
A wind-scoop for small boats has a collapsible framework of resiliant bent wire members, over which a dome-shaped fabric cover member is received in form fitting relation, one side only of which cover member is air permeable for scooping wind to be directed below deck. The bent wire members of the framework, at their lower ends, are provided with radially outwardly-directed hook means for releasable attachment with respect to the peripheral edge of a deck through opening.
