[Sentoa] questions about window coverings

[camrpm163 at aol.com]

Manfred,
 On our boat CARISMA we have regular metal  blinds that have been up for ten years and they work very well
for privicy and do a good job of keeping the heat from the sun down. As at home you can adjust them in many ways unlike the fabric ones that just go up and down. If you decide to go with the metal blinds the only suggestions I can make are to get a good quality blind and get lots and lots of extra plastic clips (all of the driffent ones) that hold down the bottem of the blinds, those are the only parts that have failed for us. Good luck.

Subject: [Sentoa] questions about window coverings




We are wishing we had something to cover the side pilot-house windows of Invictus when we need shade and/or privacy.  The previous owners had some plastic frameless screens made up that stick on with Velcro but the Velcro looks kind of messy when the screens are not up. We tried smaller Velcro dots but they don’t hold the  screens and it looks like the boat has smallpox. Does anyone have any great solutions?  We’ve seen a boat or two that look like they have some kind of blinds but we’ve only seen them from the outside and don’t know what they were.. (We do have sunbrella covers for the outside but those are not practical when we are using the boat
.)

 

The other question we have involves the various under-counter cupboards. The big one under the galley sink is one example.  Have any of you built shelves or added pre-built shelves that make this space easier to use?
