It's funny you should ask. I just got a new one as the one I inherited when I bought the boat was getting beat-up. Biggest mistake about the old one is that it did not go all the way back to the backstay. The new one goes all the way back and has pockets for 1/2 fiberglass rods. It also has a loop on the top for a halyard. It measures 9'4 across and tapers-in to 8'10" at the back. I'll post some photos when I get a chance.

Wow Doug, that is quite the boom tent! Mine's a little more modest in size, but for summer use I like the way yours is going. After seeing a couple of these oversized versions, I'm wondering if I made a mistake with mine. Though mine will continue to function well keeping the weather off the boat when I put it away, I think I may have to make one of these really big ones out of an old main sail. The light colour and translucent qualities of the old dacron would make for a nice bright summer shelter. And the overhang will help with keeping rain off the decks. Where did you find the tent poles to support yours?
