Re: replacement hatch covers
|
Greetings Roger, welcome to the group. I believe Alex W. was the previous owner of your boat? I spoke with him just after he sold it.? Have you been able to do an about the hatches? I thought long and hard about your dilemma,? the only thing I could think of was either to build some plywood boxes and reinforce with glass and epoxy, or build something out of teak or mahogany strips and reinforce from below the same way. If you use meranti or okoume ply you could finish them clear. Obviously the ply edges would need to be saturated with epoxy Imho. I have the same dilemma coming up.? I'm in your area and I'm off for a bit if you want to meet. Working on my Allied at GCS marina still. - - - - - - - - - -?

Greetings all,?
I recently purchased T27 #273 and am working on a number of projects including replacing the cover for the stern center and forward hatches. The old ones are functional but unattractive - one is covered over with fiberglass and painted. Would like them to match or come close to matching the teak cockpit seat benches. Having them fabricated gets expensive fast with yard rates for carpentry and I wondered if anyone had an alternative thought.?
Thanks, Roger Wight June Song, Hull 273 Jacksonville FL
