Does anyone know who supplied the interior linen to Four Winns? Trying to get an additional set of curtains and tracks so I can put them in my forward berth.

Per my dealer and the factory, my colors are no longer available.

FW curtain supplier was likely one of the casualties of the Bankruptcy. You don't pay em' you don't get any product in the future !

I would just go to a local place, even JCPenny, and choose the correct length, and color of your choice, and have new curtains made. It's not like they are "marine grade" or anything. Just basic living room curtains hung in a boat. And don't worry, no matter what the CSR guys told you, it WILL NOT hurt your re-sale value of the boat because you have aftermarket curtains in your boat.

Was hoping to get a matching set. I may just scratch the idea of a set for the forward berth if I can't get matching...

I suspect your right though.

Are you saying you dont have any curtains for the forward berth? I thought that was standard.

If you decide to make your own curtains here's a link to the place we used to get the correct hang tabs. They also have flexible curtain tracks.

Curtains for the port holes in forward berth like the port holes behind the settee. I've got the big ones.

Have you considered just installing a privacy tint?

I do not have a good picture but we found a complimentary colored kitchen valance that we use to cover the port holes. We bought small cafe rods and added suction cups to hold them to the underside of the cabinets. Works great and only cost a few dollars.

I may have to check my man card. Never sent a message with the words "complimentary colored kitchen valance" and "cafe rod" included before. Yikes!

We have wooden blinds on our portholes. wood closely matches the interior. we like them. they dont absorb mositure and thus dont have to be taken out to be cleaned.
