I have moved my ST44 up to the California Delta for the Summer it looks like I am going to need some screens for my Portlights and the three sliding windows. Has anyone found a solution for that?
Thanks Bob, our ST44 also has the screens for the helm door and rear door. just looking for a solution to the round portholes. temp solution I came up with was to make a hoop out of 3/8" plastic tubing. laid screen inside across the opening, put the hoop on top of the screen then used the levers to secure all in place. not pretty but it works.
Hello,Our 2005 Swift 42 has Oceanaire rolling screens on the side doors and aft slider-actually roll right to left. I bet that Beneteau has these for the 44 at some $$

This is what I came up as a temp solution. 3/8" od plastic tube and 1/4" od tube as a connection. View attachment 66848View attachment 66849. It keeps the bugs out...
No, I didn't make anything permanent. I opened the hatch then put the latches in the closed position. Make the hoops so that they fit under the hinge and the latches. Then I cut the screen as a circle a few inches larger diameter than the hoops. i position the screen then place the hoop and all is good.
It is just 3/8" (outside diameter) plastic tubing that you can pick up at any hardware store. Then get a couple feet of 1/4" plastic tube to use to attach the ends of the larger tube together. just cut some 6" pieces of the 1/4" and slip 3" into each end to for a hoop.
