It seems that my boat came with "drapes" in a track for the portlights. I

I would really like to replace the drapes with something other than
material
that can be so easily degraded. I've heard about plastic shutters by
Zarcor... http://www.zarcor.com/PeekaBooo/index.htm. Someone have
thoughts
about alternatives to the drapes besides this?

Besides, they're ugly and don't work that well.


Jeeze Jon, how big are your ports? We're not talking about 8' bay
windows here, you can sew up some new drapes in a matter of minutes with
a dollars worth of remnants. They'll probably last at least five years.

Cheers

True, but I'm not sure they'll look nice enough... it's a thought certainly.
