Abstract

A three-sided wind scoop is provided for aerating and cooling the interior of a sailboat. The wind scoop comprises three flexible rectangular shaped panels, one side of each panel being joined together to form a center seam; the top of each said three panels being attached in an equal angel Y-shaped configuration to an essentially circular flexible fabric which forms a cap or top cover for said wind scoop. The Y-shaped configured panels of the wind scoop are designed to capture the wind and the direct the flow of air down into the boat regardless of the direction of the wind in relation to the boat and the cap of the wind scoop is designed to capture the wind flowing upward from said Y-shaped configured panels and direct it back downward, thereby adding to and facilitating the downward flow of the air.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to a three-sided wind scoop for aerating and cooling the interior of a sailboat. The term wind scoop is a commonly used name in the art for a ventilation device designed to direct the flow of fresh air into the interior of a sailboat through an opening such as a hatch on the sailboat.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A major problem often encountered by sail boaters is excessive warmth and humidity that may build up in the interior of the forward cabin of the sailboat when it is at anchor, due to insufficient ventilation throughout the cabin. Preventing this problem and maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity is particularly personally desirable, since the cabin generally comprises the living and galley space of the sailboat.

[0003] Numerous types of wind scoops or ventilators have heretofore been proposed for use in aerating said cabin of a sailboat. However, the present invention comprising a simple three-sided wind scoop ...
