The aft cabin of our 36/38 foot 1986 Freedom sloop can be stifling,
even though it has two opening portholes, one on the port side and
one opening into the cockpit. I understand that someone has made a
wind scoop that, when at anchor, can be attached over the porthole on
the port side thereby directing air into the cabin and out into the
cockpit. Does anyone know anything about such a scoop?

I solved the problem of as stuffy boat at anchor by reversing the main and head hatch so they open forward. As I spend all my time on the hook and not in a slip, I always get a good breeze through the boat.
