How to Make a Companionway Cover

Make Your Own Companionway Cover Video provides step-by-step instructions for making a cover for your sailboat's companionway. In the video, you will see how to create a cover that includes a window for extra light, or a screen to increase airflow. Included is a roll-up canvas flap to the window to create a shade. This cover can also be used to protect your boat's wooden hatch boards from the damaging effects of the weather and the sun.
