Jeanneau Sun Farst
Naya and Jorgen C were our first customers from Denmark. Unfortunately the Danish postal system conspired to keep our PortVisors from being delivered. When the second package succeeded, Jorgen sent this photo with the message below. We look forward to seeing more of their 2006 Jeanneau Sun Farst 23i. [14-R]
Today we have received the package from you, as you can see from the picture my wife is very happy and looking forward to we get it mounted on the boat. Thank you for your patience and the letter that was in the package.
Pyewacket 70'
On this 70' custom Pyewacket, PortVisors are at home among the racing gear. [14R]
Pyewacket 70'
Robbie H writes, "As the Project Manager for all of the Disney Family racing yachts named Pyewacket, I have always wanted some kind of visor to keep water out of open Lewmar hatches. We sail a lot in hot weather and do many races where water is constantly coming over the deck. The visors we received from Seaworthy Goods now make it possible to be very comfortable below decks by allowing the hatches to be open all the time!" [14R]

Tim writes, "I purchased a couple of port covers a month or so ago & you requested some photos. The 14½ ones [14R] probably fit the best… the 15R was a little large… it would be helpful if you told people to put some sort of alignment tape on the ports & the hull before removing the cover of the sticky tape. They seem to work pretty good… heavy rain will still come in but nothing like without them. I was surprised that I did not seem to kick them… they have only been on for a month but I would recommend them for folks in rainy areas like Maine. I’ll order a couple more when I get a chance. Thanks."

Westsail 32

Dave and Melinda write,"Hi, here are some long overdue photos of the PortVisors on our yacht 'Sassoon'. We are very pleased with them as they were easy to install, are not in the way as it is a busy traffic area, and most importantly they keep the rain out and allow ventilation of the aft cabins. This is very important here in the Asian Tropics."

"I received the PortVisors on Thursday and installed them on Friday, just in time for a weekend of rain. They are great—easy to install and keep the rain out unless it's blowing sideways. The PortVisors allow us to keep the ports open when it rains to avoid the heads from getting stuffy and smelly."
Catalina
Larry Fiorenza sails his Catalina in Florida's Tampa Bay. [14R]
Catalina 34
Tasha is a Traveler who became an English Teacher and then a School Owner but really wanted to be a Ski Bum and instead became a Sailor. When her husband Ryan blurted out in 2005, "It's my dream to sail around the world," her response was, "That's ridiculous. Who lives on a boat?!" Which resulted in them not speaking. But the idea festered. So in October 2012, Tasha found herself sailing out of New York City with Ryan and their two cats aboard a Catalina 34 sailboat with an appetite for adventure and a blog url. You can follow their Surf to Turf journey and you can read their endorsement of PortVisors. [14R] [19R]

We are planning a new adventure, leaving in a few days to go to Mexico for a week or two and then make our way to Cartagena, Colombia. Wish us luck!" [14-R]
Stuart writes, The PortVisors are awesome, look great and allow ventilation while it's raining. Thanks again for a great product. [14-R]

"Anikka writes, "They work excellent. We can have the portlights open when it is raining. Another advantage is that the condensation is almost gone on the two portlights with PortVisor. We are still in NZ and it is raining a lot.”

Hunter 28.5
James McC installed a PortVisor™ over the porthole in the T cockpit of his Hunter 28.5. Water from the seat used to run off the seat (and the seat drip channel) onto the porthole. [13-R]
"Now I can leave the aft quarterberth port open and not let water running off the cockpit seat wash into the quarterberth cabin. And I am able to let light in - compared to the solid white visors I've seen."

"We have so much rain here in the Northwest that the PortVisors will be a real treat to have. I'm looking forward to using Red Schooner right through the winter. With the new PortVisors and the little woodstove I'm installing, rain and cold nights won't prevent cruising during our endless rainy season."
