Hi Lapwing
The photos Graham has linked, show my boat and tent. Let me know if I can help. The boat is at my home in Rutland if you wish to look at it. However, the canvas is now snugly wrapped up for winter right now so will be a minor operation to show it to you erected.
I am extremely biased but think my tent is the best I've seen on a BRe. It does take about 10 mins to erect completely.
The previous owners, Mark & Nicky Ruston, may have the purchase details from Jeckells.

Hi lapwing

We got a very nice tent cover made for our BRE by Exe Sails and Covers near Exeter.  It attaches to the dodger with zips, is held rigid with a three part fibre glass batten aft and attached to outside of the cockpit.  The whole thing can be raised in 2 or 3 minutes from inside the cockpit.  It stood up to a VERY windy night on a mooring in the Helford river when the ocean going trawlers came in for shelter, with absolutely no fuss.

Highly recommended.
