ABSTRACT:
A ventilator wind scoop system is disclosed for attachment to a boat deck hatch having a hinged hatch cover which opens to uncover the hatch opening whereby the scoop system communicates through such opening with the boat's below deck space. The scoop system has a flexible air entrance unit formed of first and second fabric panels fixed in line contact with each other along their forward edges. The first panel, which is positioned forward and over the front edge of the hatch cover, contains a screened, rectangular opening through which air passes to flow over the top of the second panel that extends under the hatch cover and between two triangular side wedges. The second panel provides a louvre that collects any water entering the screened opening and carries it forward, away from the hatch opening. The wind scoop system is easily customized to fit a wide variety of hatch sizes and when not is use folds into a compact size for easy stowage.
