I would use the boom to support the entire netting.Tuck it under the  cusions 
and on the deck, I would use those sand filled thingies that people put  up 
against their doors in the winter to stop breezes from blowing under it. Or  
you could have someone sew some material that is the perfect length that you  
need and fill them with sandbox sand yourself.

We're  actually thinking about spending a night on the boat and were
wondering  what would be the best protection against mosquitoes.

Bahamas  Bill W. had a great idea by draping mosquito netting over his
bimini and  then tucking it in under his cockpit cushions.  I have the
bimini  without the poptop enclosure, but I was thinking about doing the
same thing  over the bimini and poptop.

What would be the best means of  securing the mosquito netting over the
poptop?  Secure it inside the  cabin with cushions or whatever?  Velcro
or tie it around the poptop  connection to the mast and poptop arms?
Secure it under bricks or weights  on the deck?  Secure it to the
shrouds?

I'm concerned  about gaps for the mosquitoes to gain entrance or that the
netting may get  blown away.

Anyone know of where I can buy a one-piece section  of netting large
enough to cover the cockpit and  cabin?

Would mosquito repellent be easier?  What does  everyone else do-just
donate blood?

If we ever get into  cruising we would definitely want the poptop
enclosure, but we don't want  to buy one if we never use  it.

Thanks!
