First off, yes, I'm serious. I want to try this.
I think it can be done with an anchor, a small one or two person tent, and some creativity. My idea is to find a good place to anchor, take the sail down and furl it, and then set up the tent where the cockpit is. The three things I would need to do are (1) cover the cockpit so that it's not a pothole to fall into while asleep , (2) find a way to get the sail, mast, and boom out of the way (maybe put them to the side or something?), and (3) secure the tent so that if someone roles in their sleep they don't knock the tent into the water.
With this said, I think that it's doable. It would also probably be smart to take the coaming off if possible to allow for more room. As for mast and boom... maybe this could be floated (after being securely tied up) next to the boat. I don't see why it would hurt anything if the sail and mast got wet.
Any comments? Ideas?
