If you have access to a sewing machine, make your own. They will be a lot less expensive than commercially produced curtains. Sailrite.com has most, if not all of the supplies you will need.

Fellow 1986 owner here and full supporter of Sailrite stuff as well. My boat needed some cushions re covered, curtains, privacy curtain, old sails repaired etc. and after watching enough YouTube videos I just went out and bought a sewing machine, a bag of Sunbrella scraps from a sail loft and starting sewing. My work doesn't look good but it works. Consider doing some fabric work your self, it's not too hard and you'll have pride in your result and save a ton of money in the long run. Some may disagree but the cost of my sewing machine and materials for 4 cockpit cushions was right at $1k. Everything else I did is just more gravy on my biscuits.

I was quoted $1200-1500 to have five cushions made for my O'Day 25
