Our windscoop arrived, and it is an excellent addition to the boat. We said goodbye to air conditioning, giving that anchor to a good friend here in Charleston who can use it. No more big metal brick to muscle around. It's only useful with shore power anyway, and we really intend to live out on the hook as much as possible once we leave Charleston.
The windscoop is a great idea, and a good value if you buy from Amazon rather than West. Funnels air in through the V-berth hatch quite nicely. It does need a bit of tweaking to be used properly; in our case, a new crossbar and respaced screw eyes, plus a pair of lightweight bunji cords, made all the difference. It needs to be tailored to its hatch, is all. No sewing or other high-skill requirements, just a couple of screw-eyes and a fiberglass rod...and some padding and electrical tape.
