Description
Blackout Blind for Boat Hatch with Ventilation
Get a better night’s sleep on your boat with the Waterline Designs blackout blind for boat hatch. It is made for hatches with a ventilator in the centre. The blind keeps the cabin dark while still allowing fresh air to flow through.
A mosquito net layer helps keep mosquitoes and other bugs outside when the hatch is open. This makes the blind a great choice for yachts and motorboats.
Blackout Blind for Boat Hatch with Central Ventilation
The blackout blind for boat hatch is made for hatches where the ventilation opening sits in the middle. It uses two magnets for a simple and secure fit.
One magnet sits on each side of the ventilator. This helps the blind fit around the central vent while keeping the cabin dark.
The blind has a three-layer design:
- Two overlapping layers of blackout material
- One layer of dense mosquito net
- A design that allows air to flow through
The blackout layers overlap by a few centimetres. This helps block the light while still allowing air to enter the boat.
The mosquito net layer helps keep mosquitoes and other bugs out when the hatch is open.
100% Blackout and Good Air Flow
It can be dark when you go to bed on a boat, but the sun may rise very early. Morning light through the hatch can wake you before you are ready.
The blackout blind for boat hatch helps keep the cabin dark, so you can sleep longer and wake up when you choose.
At the same time, the design allows air to flow through the hatch. You can enjoy fresh air without giving up a dark cabin.
Works with Open and Closed Hatches
The boat hatch blackout blind works with both open and closed hatches.
With the hatch open, air can flow through the blind. The mosquito net helps keep bugs outside.
With the hatch closed, the blackout layers help block unwanted light from entering the cabin.
This makes the blackout blind for boat hatch useful at night, during bright mornings and whenever you want more control over light in the cabin.
Easy to Fit From Inside the Boat
The blind is designed to fit from inside the boat. There is no need to go outside to install or remove it.
A metal plate is attached to the hatch window with double-sided tape. The blind then attaches to the plates with two magnets, with one magnet on each side of the ventilator.
The foldable chromed steel frame opens the blind and stretches the screen into place. A cord helps pull the screen tight against the hatch frame.
The whole process takes just a few seconds.
Easy to Fold and Store
The blackout blind for boat hatch is less than 3 mm thick. After use, the blind folds down to about one-third of its full size.
This makes it easy to store when you do not need it. It takes up very little space, which is ideal for yachts and motorboats.
There is also no need for a permanent installation. Fit the blind when you need it, then remove it and store it when you are finished.
Fits Different Hatch Shapes
The screen is made larger than the hatch opening. This allows the blind to fit a range of hatch shapes, including square, rectangular and round hatches.
The design also makes it suitable for many hatch brands on the market.
