Habitent, model Scirrocco. VGC, all working £300. ONO.

[Sea Simon]

I have finally today got around to trying my new-to-me (bought last spring) Habitent Scirocco cockpit tent on my BC26.

It doesn't really fit my BC26, which has an unusually wide (1.75m) and long cockpit.
I think it would probably suit BR20/BRe or perhaps a BC23?
See attached links, and please make your own checks. The Scirrocco model is sold as suitable for Crabbers/Cape cutters, and other cruisers with narrower cockpits, up to 1.6m wide I think?

As these things are now like hens teeth (since makers stopped production), once found locally,  I thought I'd try it for size. I  now know that My boat needs the wider model.

Anyways, it's been very lightly used by original buyer (he said maybe 2/3 times and his boat then sold). Excellent condition.
All parts/accessories and zips present and working. No rips/tears or repairs. Almost unmarked and very clean. Windows bright and clear. Mossie nets all present and working. Instructions sewn into the carry bag.

This version has windows (with zipped curtains, and mossi screens too on the three opening sides) on all 4 sides.
Zipped access Doors on both P and S sides, as well as aft end. So access is very easy and it's extremely  versatile.

Will post, at cost. 6kg ish, about the size of a small tent...surprisingly  enough!

I'm  told these were close to £500 just before production  ceased?
