My boat also came with Velcro on the overhead which became unsightly.
Took it off and removed the glue. Replaced the original with fabric
screen from the hardware store and cut it so it lapped over the outside
edge of hatch combing. Put a hem by folding over and using double sided
fabric tape
with small rectangles of lead at each corner and in the middle of each
edge. The hatches on 1974 C&C 35 are Atkins & Hoyle and the fabric does
not interfere with it partially open or even the closing of the hatch.
The screens fit into a single a quart ziplock bag.

Charlie,
Dwight's wooden frame screen insert is probably similar to my 35-1
midships wooden frame screen. The frame fits inside the hatch opening
flush with the headliner. There are two small metal triangles that
are across the aft corners of the hatch opening. Centered in the
forward side of the hatch opening is a door button (like a Perko
1217DP0CHR). To install, you put the aft end of the frame in the
opening, rest it's aft corners on the two triangles, lift it in place
and secure it with the door button.
If you want pics, I hope to be on the boat Wednesday if I can get
through the Florida COVID-19 check point on Interstate 10. :)

Thanks Dwight--
Can you briefly describe how the wooden screens were attached? My
Lewmar hatch frames (that screw into the deck) do not extend into
the cabin and are semi-circular in profile so any screens I
use/make need to attach to the cabin ceiling somehow. They cannot
be attached to the hatch frame.
Thanks,
Charlie

My 35mkii came to me with a set of wood framed screens. They work
quite well but the companionway screen is awkward to stow onboard.
My Beckson opening ports came with screens that work well and are
very easy to stow.
