some projects to my old Santana 2023C sailboat)

Forward Hatch Screen  

No real pictures here, sorry. I used some fiberglass porch screen material and it was sewn into a shape to fit the open hatch.

Around the entire bottom, hollow "tube" style webbing was stiched. Before closing off the webbing tube, I snaked a length of chain inside. This is heavy enough to hold the screen down to the deck, even in high winds.
