Good sleep is important. Sleeping at its best at sea is no exaggeration. Relaxing and holiday in combination and being slowly cradled to sleep cannot be wrong. Unfortunately, it can be wrong. It gets bright early in the morning and it is warm in the boat. The sun often rises 4 – 5 in the morning and it is probably earlier than most people want to get up in the morning. There are few blinds that today can offer a darkness for the best sleep that you deserve. Blackout Blinds with ventilation for regular hatches from Waterline Design offer a practical solution.
Dark
Darkness is essential to sleep. The absence of light sends a critical signal to the body that it is time to rest. Light exposure at the wrong times alters the body’s internal “sleep clock”—the biological mechanism that also regulates sleep-wake cycles—in ways that interfere with both the quantity and quality of sleep.
Managing your exposure to light in your boat and in your cabin is fundamental to creating a healthy sleep environment. With awareness, attention, and some simple planning, you can create a boat berth that guards against unwanted light at night and protects the quality of your sleep until you are ready to wake. Blinds and shades on hatches keep outside light from disturbing your sleep. Make sure window coverings are heavy enough to fully block light, and are well fitted to avoid slivers of streetlight or early morning sunlight from filtering in. Even brief exposure to light can interfere with sleep. Our blackout blinds from Waterline Design are designed to help you have a better sleep when you have regular hatches. Remember that some hulls also let through a lot of light.
Ventilation
You can also have an open hatch, dark inside in your cabin and still have some ventilation air / in the boat. We have designed the blind with double layer of material that overlaps each other. It will create an air gap. The air is small so air will not run fully but it will create ventilation. If you want to have greater air quantity, you can put something (like a sponge) between the layers to force it open.
Mosquito free
There will also be one layer of dense mosquito net to prevent mosquitoes, No-see-ums, gnats, midgets, bugs etc. inside. Your help is close with blackout Blinds with ventilation for regular hatches.

The items where exactly as i thought they would be. Little bit of tweaking to use them with closed hatches as blinds but with open hatches the are perfect.

We have now purchased 3 different products for our yacht Tru Blu a Broadblue 38.5 and cannot fault them. They have made such a difference to the boat in the Australian summer. Product 1310 is not available here in Australia yet and the guidance we were given was second to none in purchasing. Customer service has been outstanding. Thank you so much for assisting us.

We bought 2 for a trail and they really work out fine. Next order will be the mosquito net for the companionway. It’s seems also good. Ted
Tharon Rodriguez –
Very good – the only issue we’ve had has been that the suction cups arrived a little squished and have trouble sticking to the hatches. I expect they will soften over time and this will not be an issue.
Mark –
This solved my problem.
Alan Cooper –
Even my husband love the net. Ha ha.
William Dalfino –
Thanks for a good sleep
Joseph V. –
Purchased this for hatch over my bed. Does the job. No more early morning sunshine wake up calls.
Mark R. –
They way it’s designed it will just blow away. I lost 2 in the very 1st week. Suction cup simply isn’t strong enough to hold them. If they would simply use bungy cord and wrap it around to the handle of the port lens it would work fine. I believe they know of the issue because they include a cheap rubber bands but no instruction/reason as to why. After losing 2 screens we saw that they might be used in the way I describe. Do away with the suction cup and provide quality bungy cord with an adjuster.
Mitchell M. –
I was very satisfied with the hatch screens I purchased. Being in the United States and purchasing overseas the order arrived in just a few days.

My husband thought this was expensive. He have now changed his mind. I didn’t have to remind him on all his toys.

Mörkläggningsgardinen funkar fint. Magnetfastsättningen är bättre i mitt fall. Gardinen behövs nu på hösten då jag kör i mörkret och använder strålkastaren. Utan gardin bländar ljuset genom luckan.
