Mosquito net for fwd hatch

[Yannis]

Does anybody know where I can find this sliding framed mosquito net under the fwd hatch?
I will have to construct the teak slides on which it sits, but I need the net first so I can define the dimensions.
Thanks.

Yannis,

I have had a bug buster screen by Sogeman for a really long time and it works great. Google Sogeman bug Buster and you should be off and running.

Thank you Dug,

I do have this very one and I'm very happy with it. I used it last summer.

However, it performs best when the hatch is completely open and up to moderate winds. When the hatch is low and the winds are furious then the mesh either flies away or fails to cover all corners. But as I was going through the site you proposed I saw some interestig alternatives. Like this spring loaded mesh by Lewmar that retracts in its own shell. Good idea too, only too much plastic...

I passed by the Oceanair distributor this morning, to take a look at that cassette blind and mosquito net combo. Plenty of sizes; the one that fits my boat (63 X 63 cm) sells for € 365 ! I thought they should ...keep it!
