Do they have a small version for the bilge!!??!
Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the tradewinds in your sails.

All : When working on a winch - use the bottom of a soda/water bottle case.  Cut a hole the size of thewinch dimeter and slide it over the winch!!

The problem I see with that very taught umbrella material is when something does fall into it, the umbrella acts like a trampoline and you'll see your tool bounce up and plop into the water!!  I would put a towel as a lining to catch what falls in.
