1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
Made window curtains for the rollers I installed awhile back. The material was a bit too stretchy and pretty hard to work with. Not my best sewing but good enough.
Mounted them on the rollers to cover the windows. Happy with the result – great privacy and a lot less interior varnish fading from the sun.
CNCd some small custom cleats for window shade rollers.
After much debate on whether we should try to restore original (corroded) windows, go for simple thru-bolted acrylic panels, or buy a new set, we decided to go with a new set. Found a company, Mark Plastics, that manufactured windows for Capital Yachts (Newport 30s). Nadya reused old holiday wrapping paper to create templates and make measurements and I stopped by USPS this morning to mail those over.
Removing windows in preparation for deck and interior paint. Will likely replace those leaky windows with new acrylic (properly sealed).
It’s sad to let the originals go but they are too corroded and not water tight.
