CD 30 cabin details

Post by Bill Connolly »

Hello, could anybody point me in the direction of a site where I can purchase new curtains for the cabin and V-berth? I'm also looking for
screens for the deck hatches. Thanks for any help!

Hatch screens we had to make our own because we could not find any. I would think an RV place may have curtain parts that may work with what you have or to convert to something else. Dennis

I would recommend making your curtains. It's fun and you might get inspired to make other cloth items later.

When I replaced Orion’s curtains I was referred to https://eastcoastembroidery.com/
The curtains they made were based on patterns they had in stock since they were an original equipment supplier to Cape Dory. They were very reasonably priced and, being fully lined, they have held up exceptionally well. They also included an embroidered hull outline in one corner for a couple bucks more.

Sorry I don’t have a better photo but you can see the curtains in this photo.

East Coast Embroidery made a set of curtains for our 28. We ordered off-white, with a royal-blue trim stripe to match our cushions. Going on ten years now, the curtains still look great.

Good luck!

I don't see the curtains offered on their site, did you just call them and ask?

Let us know if they still do them please. Ours are still in good shape, I can't believe they are 40 years old. Dennis

We also used East Coast Embroidery about five years back. The cost for eight ports was $260. Identical to the original, half hull and lined.

I can't keep up with you guys. Now I have to redo my curtains. (I'm bored "Leoma" is disabled till late February). I had my sister make these curtains when I first got this boat but they don't look very good compared to some of those shown. By the way I got new upholstery last month. I really disappointed with them and don't like that shop i used at all. Here is a pic of new cushions

I think your new cushions look very nice. I’m envious of your half-hull model.....very cool.
