A skirt for a boat hoist is provided to enclose a boat on the hoist. The skirt
includes a plurality of panels adapted to be hung from the canopy frame of the
hoist. One of the panels is a door panel which can be raised and lowered to provide
access to the boat. Another panel is a rear panel extending across the rear end
of the hoist and being moveable between raised and lowered positions to allow entry
and exit of the boat to and from hoist. The door and rear panels are moveable independently
of the side and front panels. The panels are weighted and may have wind vents to
prevent blowing the panels in the wind.
