Possible option if available, is to sleep in the awning.

I had a sailing cruiser, and almost always slept in the cockpit. It had a cover that went over the boom, so it was almost like a ridge tent anyway.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Didn't want to start a seperate thread with this...It's a supplement from today's Guardian about camping.
