Yes, my 240 had the exact same curtains from the factory. My 260 had them also, but the P.O. removed them, and only the track remains.

I thought you were referring to window curtains. Yes there were privacy curtains on your 240 as forward privacy for the head and forward V Berth. You may want to see if they are offered at the forum store Sorry for the confusion

If you need the hooks for the curtains, Sailrite sells those kinds of fittings that will work on most marine tracks.
I've no idea where to get used curtains for your boat. But in the past I've put on curtains without patterns. Does your Hunter have the attachments for the curtains? I'd start there looking at either what the boat has for attachments or figuring out how I was going to attach the curtains. I've usually had to start from scratch that way. Then it's a process of measuring lengths, widths and incorporate the attachment system. When measuring dimensions, keep in mind the added material for seaming requirements.
Good luck.

I have the two foot high curtain in the back end of the aft cabin under the cockpit. From the photos I have seen the pinch pleats are the same. I have measured the opening for the cabin curtains but this only gives me the length, not the width to allow for pleats. Attache drawing shows area to be covered.
I found the slide for the curtain track at Sailrite. They are good people. I have the two foot high curtain, located in the back end of the aft cabin under the cockpit. From the photos I have seen, the pinch pleats are the same on the main curtain. I have measured the opening for the cabin curtains but this only gives me the length, not the width to allow for pleats. Attache drawing shows area to be covered.
I'm trying this curtain track that is lower profile than the traditional marine curtain track.
