Beat the heat and act now, while we hold this bargain price!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in stock in mid January 2026, the Cruising Solutions' Breeze Bandit is a unique breeze-catching wind scoop designed to catch the wind --\u003cstrong\u003eregardless of the wind direction. \u003c\/strong\u003e-- It redirects the wind down through your boat's hatch to cool your cabin on those sweltering summer nights. This is why it has been the favorite wind scoop of cruising sailors for more than 20 years. See a third-party review of the Cruising Solutions Breeze Bandit from \u003cem\u003eThe Boat Galley\u003c\/em\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theboatgalley.com\/wind-scoops\/\" title=\"Breeze Bandit Review\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightweight reinforced polyester fabric has a unique 4-chamber design, which catches the slightest breeze from \u003cem\u003eany direction,\u003c\/em\u003e and the low-level skirt then directs it down-the-hatch for your comfort. Strong reinforcement webbing along the sides allow you to keep it taut, so it stays stable in even strong winds, without fluttering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost boat wind scoops are quite short and have extra rods or flexible bows to stay fixed in place. And they only work when the wind is coming from one direction, so they aren't very efficient if the breeze changes directions, anchored in a current, or when tied-up dockside. The Breeze Bandit solves this problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Breeze Bandit stands 6’ tall, so it has much more breeze-catching area compared with the other small hatch vents or wind scoops. It fits hatches up to 21″ X 21″ or 24″ x 18″ (larger hatches up to 24\"x 24\" possible by releasing the bight in the snap webbing - contact us for more info). A drawstring storage pouch and mounting hardware are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo what happens if it rains?\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike other fiddly wind scoop contraptions, the Breeze Bandit is tethered, and secures from the inside, with snaps fastening the base to the headliner around the hatch perimeter. When set up per the instructions, just quickly release the four snaps and close the hatch when you are caught by unexpected rain or squalls --The Breeze Bandit will still be secure via its attachment to the halyard and the deck, and it will just blow in the wind until you re-attach it. Try that with another type of wind scoop!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it require my bug screen to be removed? \u003c\/strong\u003eNot typically. The webbing is flat, and can normally be passed in between the bug screen's fame and the hatch frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey make great boat warming or holiday gifts for your sailing friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* The Breeze Bandit's clever design has actually been keeping sailors cool for more than 200 years. This design is based off of a design we found in a 19th century British Navy sailing manual. It continues to endure as the most practical and efficient wind catcher design out there. You won't be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zpmFzufELuk\" title=\"Breeze Bandit Video\"\u003eSee an explanation video here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cruising Solutions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158411079954,"sku":"BB-01","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/9172\/0804\/files\/BreezeBanditBoatWindScoop1.png?v=1774962735","url":"https:\/\/www.innovativemarinegroup.com\/en-au\/products\/breeze-bandit-all-direction-wind-scoop-attaches-to-boat-hatch","provider":"Innovative Marine Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
