Long Beach Sailing Yacht — Aft Cabin Drapery

A 72-foot sailing yacht aft cabin with limited overhead space, no concealed track option, and a brief for residential softness on a heel-tolerant system. Sailing yachts impose constraints motor yachts don't.

Marine FR linen on a low-profile rod-mounted system designed to function under heel. Magnetic edge tie-downs to keep panels controlled under way. Hand-drawn — no motors in a wet space without dedicated marine wiring.

IMO MED-certified linen-look weave in oat, 11 oz., UV-stabilized. Lighter weight than motor yacht spec because mass under heel becomes a pendulum on long passages.

316 stainless rods and rings, low-profile brackets through-bolted into the cabin top, magnetic tie-down hardware at the hem. No motors, no track, no electrical exposure in a sailing environment.

Hand-fitted in the cabin during a scheduled haul-out. Hem weights replaced with magnetic edge clips so the panels secure to the bulkhead under heel without modifying the residential drape when at anchor.

Residential warmth at anchor, controlled behavior under sail, no failure modes introduced into a wet electrical environment. My recommendation for sailing yacht work: never default to the motor yacht solution. The vessel's physics dictate the spec.
