Hello:

I have a 2001 GibSea made by Dufour. I want to get some fly screens. Dufour does not make them. Lewmar does not make them. I guess I have to have these custom made. What should I do?

The sizes are weird. 19.75" x 9 1/2 inches. Made by Lewmar but not supported.

Thanks.

Sogeman makes a few sizes of screen that drop over the hatch. You can open and close the hatch with the screens in place. I've used them for years up in Maine. They also have companionway screens. All are held in place by lead beads in the hems.

Do you have older screens that are blown? If so, you might be able to cannibalize the frames and make new ones rather easily.

We go to Home Depot and buy the nylon screening in rolls from them. (Different colors, even.) It can be draped over the open hatchway or you can build a frame of wood strips and glue the screen to it. (Quite simple.) If there's no frame it can be rolled up & stowed conveniently just about anywhere.
