We need to replace the curtains on our Grand Banks 49. After 24 years they are showing their age. We do have blinds as well, but use the curtains to help block sunlight watching tv or as extra insulation when needed

Any recommendations in the Seattle area? I tried King marine canvas but they don’t do this type of work

Thanks!

I would think that anyone that makes curtains can get you setup. Just take the rods to an upholstery shop or similar and give them the dimensions you want.

Not certain these two would do curtains, but they might be able to recommend someone:

Ontario Canvas Co <minorcanvas@gmail.com>
 
+1 seems fairly generic, especially if you can take down the hanging apparatus (rods?) and bring it to a shop.

For boats specifically, Mac's Marine in Ballard advertises curtains among their services so they could be one place to check (I have not used them, just noting) Mac's Marine Canvas
 
Thanks to all. These are pleated curtains that use the Grand Banks hanging system, not traditional rods. Appreciate the leads!
 
Hi there,
I took the original curtains to a local seamstress and she duplicated them. Be sure to reuse the plastic slides from the original because I have purchased on line what appears as the same but they are too small and fall out of the GB track. Upgrade to Sunbrella fabric if you can. I live in BC, any seamstress can make them. Good Luck
 
We made curtains for several boats, not too difficult to do.
