Keeping the rain out!

[Alasgun]

I don't know that we have more rain than anyone else, I do know that our rain comes in great variety. Sideways, windblown, front to back, back to front, in general if I am being my lazy self it will come in the windows when they need to be open the most , to provide ventilation. I tried using the screens as a buffer but unless it is a very soft rain on a very calm day it will get in. Last week over in Prince William it hit me. If I could locate a devise simular to those used on the top of pickup windows, I could keep the window open and the rain out. The boat version would have to be a little longer and of lower profile but I believe the concept is sound. This would give a great amount of surface area for ventilation as well. To get an equal amount of surface area using clam shell's would have your boat looking like an armadillo! Am I out in left field on this thing, does someone already make this devise, what do others do when not wanting to "attend" the windows during rainy weather? I can make the necessary mold to create these things but would rather patronize anyone else who may have gone before me. Mike on Huda Thunkit.

I've got these http://www.marinegutters.com/ and they help, but I'm interested in Blue-Cs solution too.

I was looking for the thread on window cleaning and stumbled on this thread. Thought an update would be in order. The wing flaps have been on for a few years now and are still working great, easy to build, don't distract from the boats apperance and allow the window to be cracked open without getting soaked in a cross wind. As cheap as they are to make, why suffer
