 Eureka Timberline Tents have relatively sturdy metal poles w/ shock cords.
Obviously you don't want the thin poles found in top-line tents.  If you
shorten the poles you'll need replacement shock cords, and Eureka and others
make replacement kits.  The Eureka poles are probably inexpensive enough for
some experimentation.

(I've also used the rain fly from a Eureka Timberline effectively as an
improvised spinnaker, braces with just a paddle and the bow person's hands.)

Good luck!
