I posted on here a few years ago when I was organizaing a boating expedition to the Bahamas where we were going to stay on the boat for 5 days. I received some feedback here and read a ton of material, much of which I incorporated into our trip. thank you again.
My new venture this year is to Andros Bahamas, which is reknown for being perhaps the place with the worse bug situation in the bahamas. While we are sleeping on the boat again and away from land (half mile to a mile) and this distance should ensure very few bugs, I would like to bring a noseeum/nanoseeum net that works against bugs AND is breathable. i understand that the better it works against the bugs the less breathable it will be, but i dont know where that balance is, hence the reason for this post. I intend to wash/soak the netting in Permethrin. The net would need to cover the bow of my boat from the center console to the bow, or about 8 feed wide by 11 feet long.
i have seen the video where someone sews together two sheer window panels purchased at Lowe's or Walmart. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQRoEpK-7SY. Don't know if this material is very breathable.
I have also found a large military mosquito nets from Ebay (recommended here) but again I am not sure on the mesh size. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOSQUITO-NE...kAAOSw9ltd7rNN
I would appreciate your direction/feedback.
