Hi, I have just bought a Sabre 27 and need to replace the curtain tracks on the windows inside. I have never done this before as it is my first boat. Does anyone have any tips on where to buy from and how to do it? Thanks.

I used plastic coated spring wire with little screw in hooks on each end an little rings screwed into the cabin lining, You can buy a kit of bits from a DIY shop and cut the wire to length. The curtain will need hem top and bottom to have open ends to allow the wire to be threaded through.
I hope you will enjoy your Sabre, they are lovely boats !!!!!

Hi

I used these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006 ... ge_o02_s00

They are small enough to use for the main windows.
