Practical Sailor ahs two others reviewed this month

The "Hatch Umbrella" (from Sailors Solutions); and the "Hatch Hoodie Awning" (from Banner Bay Marine).

The ATN looks like a variation on the Breeze Booster (which bhas been around for about as 1/2 as long as the "Windscoop" -- which of course provides no real rain protection (except to keep some of the water from from getting overboard by channing it into your berth below ;^))) -- how many of us have revelled in the wonderful breeze only to get the shower, followed by the quickly, close the hatch experience. :^)

P.S. - The guys form Sailors Solutions make a very neat replacemnt for high intensity lamps to LED's (nice color); and, they make that mean "Hook Knife" that is too scary to use on lobster lines :^). They're pretty good guys. I don't know Banner. The people from Breeze Booster have demonstrated their products for many years at the boat show. They work (but I'm not sure how well they would keep-out rain.)
