Hatch covers and screens

Most vessels have a number of hatches and portlights. We have 7 lewmar deck hatches in several sizes. As sunlight UV is very destructive we use fabric hatch covers to protect them when we are anchor. These are easy to make onboard and basicly consist of a rectangular piece of cloth with a elastic string in the double sewn corners.

To keep the bugs out we have made screens from very fine nylon mesh material. Again easy to make and very affortable.
