Blinds/shades

[Paulus]

Has anyone replaced the old curtains with shades?  Looking for the hardware for my curtains.
Thanks,
Paul

Check this place out.  I've purchased pleated shades there.  Just don't mention you are a Catalina owner....

Paulus,
There is a Wiki on how to make your own shades.
Look under C34 tech wiki/port lights and hatches/shades.

I am looking for additional plastic slides that fasten to the curtains. My boat is a 1989.  Need a few additional ones.
Thanks for the help.

You can order the plastic slides that go in the tracks from CatalinaDirect.com or Sailrite.com.  Sailrite has the best price.

For the 6 opening ports on your 34 have you looked at the Zarcor mini blinds??  We bought them and they are great, installs right on the glass and provides all the shade and privacy you need.  Check them out at Zarcor.com.

Thanks for all the great advice.  I called Catalina Yachts today and they have a monopoly on the small plastic slides that were originally put on the curtains.  They were more than willing to send me new slides.  Thanks to a great company.
