In rough weather, trying to stay in your bunks can be harder
than one might think. Leecloths are a
cloth that is anchored under the mattress or on the outboard edge of a bunk,
which can be raised so you will not roll off the bunk. The can be easily made.
The leecloth will keep you on the bunk when the boat rolls.
There are many variations on how and what they are made
of. They can be a water proof cloth, a
dark cloth that gives privacy, a mesh or open weave fabric that is breathable
or a combination of all. The leecloth just has to be strong and easy to secure
and keep you on the bunk.
You can put the lee cloths up and put things on the bunk so the do not roll all over the boat.
They are usually anchored under the mattress or on the
outboard edge of the bunk, but there are other creative ways of anchoring
them. They can also be used to secure
things on the bunk so they do not bounce all over the boat.

Leecloths are an easy way to make rough weather or rough
sailing a little more comfortable.
