Hi all, I ordered those covers to vegamarin last year. They are exactly the same as the old ones. They shipped them to France so I think they can ship to anywhere. If someone need it, I also find the curtain clips (on a french website but also on albinmotor.com (see on "albin boat spares")...

Hello all,

many thanks, I have to think about those ideas. Wood is more beautifull but steel seems to be a good compromise (it will be cheapest and more solid).
