Followed your instructions and was surprised how easy it was.


Also liked the small table so I made one out of teak.


Love those Tech Tips

Very nice.
Question, are those extentions on the rigging stock or did you add those?

Thanks. The WK models have the chain plates on the cabin top and the extentions run through the cabin.

My WB hull 619, also has that rigging. I believe my boat was the first WB to go to that arrangement. Nice job on the curtains and table!

I was searching for information on making curtains and your posting came up, when you say "followed instructions" were you refering to curtains and if so do you know where I can find instructions for curtains. thanks

I also made curtains "ala Oscar" and am quite pleased with the way they turned out. Be sure the curtains are longer than the rods (maybe 10 to 20%?) as when they are pushed back for any length of time they remain permanently "pleated" and won't easily extend back to their original length.
