I don't bother about that in the living space. I do keep the enclosed spaces open when I'm not around... attempting to get some airflow in there. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

If your ports are glass, almost no UV gets through them. That's why fabrics in cars seldom fade. Not to mention that you should have UV-stable fabrics in your boat anyway. In fairness, Jon, I realize that Sabre uses those long, fixed Plexiglas windows, and I can see why you might want to have drapes over them. Our ten house ports are rectangular opening bronze ports with glass, and it's not really easy to see inside the boat, unless you are right up on the port. We've never used drapes in this boat, and I don't foresee us getting them. We put a slip-on cover over the two ports in the V-berth to keep out sun in the morning, if we plan to sleep in a bit. That's about the only concession. Katy is right--Sunbrella is best. It is tough, won't fade, and it won't degrade with time. Max |
