We’ve been sailing aboard Webfoot without any privacy for a year now. At anchor it’s not a problem but when we are at a public dock everyone can see inside. Especially at night when the lights are on. I finally replaced my aging sewing machine for a fancy computer-aided model and have been busy sewing. I’ve never made much more than pillows and the occasional baby quilt but now I’m ready to broaden my horizons. Last weekend I made a couple of rail-bags for our BBQ propane bottles and I also made some curtains! Actually I cheated. I bought dark blue valances for $10 each and sewed them to fit. Two valances made all the curtains I needed. Here is a shot of my galley before curtains:

And here are some photos of the “new look” aboard Webfoot!

Installation was simple. I used very strong white fly-fishing line and attached it to the bolts that hold in the window panes. By temporarily removing the small white “buttons” that cover the nuts I was able to hide the  knots. I strung line top and bottom and fed it through pockets in the curtains using a safety pin. By attaching them top and bottom they don’t swing around when the boat moves. Questions or comments? Leave a comment below or email me!
