We were put off by the idea of the fixed screens because of the forward head hatch set up with the support bar. There is no way I could live without all the hatches matching perfectly – it is the OCD in me.

Those are great screens. You guys did a fantastic, economical job.
The other reason for our interest in the Oceanair product is to replace our current hatch curtains. We had the Oceanair on our last boat and quite liked the recessed blackout blind feature. Ian S/V Loca Lola II SM153

Good morning Ian,

Sorry you never heard from the guy… The only reference to the size is 1080. Here is the original invoice: http://www.nikimat.com/factures/2014_12_23_shopepal.jpg That is for salon and forward cabin. Therefore I think the newer model are slightly different (nicer) looking. Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Alexandre, do you remember the sizes you installed? Here is why I ask... In October, we had the Oceanair rep on board in Fort Lauderdale to do the measuring for these screens and possibly the other portlight curtains. Once he left we never heard from him again despite several calls/emails.

Yes I attached them to the wood trim of the salon and forward cabins, and to close the little gap, I put a little auto adhesive rubber. Hope that helps… Sincerely, Alexandre -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 4/2/18, sailor63109@yahoo.com [amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] Oceanair Skyscreen To: amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, April 2, 2018, 3:08 PM I'm looking for anyone with experience with the Oceanair Skyscreen on the SuperMaramu? As part of our vermin-proofing of Wanderer (see previous post on Rats!), we want to put a screen on the ports and hatches that will at least make intrusion detectable without a making a project out of it (I have too many d@!!! projects now!). The Oceanair Skyscreen for the overhead hatches (excluding the head) seems like a good choice. If you did buy them:- do you like them?- did you attach them to the wood trim in the main and forward cabins, or did you remove these trim pieces so the Skyscreen flange was flat agains the headliner? Does anyone have another suggestion for the overhead hatches? Thanks,Duane

Ian & Duane,
Save yourselves $1000 or $270 per hatch and make your own screens. We fabricated these out of starboard and glued mesh onto them with a hot-glue gun. They can be deployed from inside or outside the boat. They drop into and rest in the hatches. Very easy and cheap to make.
With best regards,
Mark
