Brian, how did you cover the triangle glass transition from the sides to the front? Buzz

There are still curtains on the triangles on my boat. We have levolor blinds on the side windows. They are Levelor Cellular Shades on our boat. No pull strings and when they are up you barely see them. Expensive, but we got ours for free thru employee discount. Like them a lot. http://www.levolor.com/products/cellular-shades/

Buzz, For the stern triangle areas, my canvas guy made an insert that is velcroed into that triangle spot at the back. He used plywood, wrapped in soft foam and then cover with the same material as my sliding door cover. Came out very nice. For the front I don't have anything except an exterior windshield wrap cover made of Textilene that covers the windshield and the two front side triangles. This is a mesh material that knocks down the heat penetration, prevents people seeing in during the day, but you can see out easily. If I need privacy at night, the prior owner had made a white (solid) windshield cover that I can use. Hence the blinds are one section (about 5'-6' long) covering the sliding windows' front and back section, port and starboard. I also have one section covering my stern window. I went with black which I think works well with the black window framing. http://www.outdoortextiles.com/browse.p ... =7&CatID=1
