Companionway hatch

[john_keating]

The hatch was rough when purchased and quickly got worse. Varnished the hatch, and oiled the dropboards. Not finished but it is serviceable

Well, there's an improvement!

Welcome aboard the forum.

 

[Glyn Judson]

Your new hatch.

Congratulations John, the sliding hatch looks fan-tastic! Welcome, Glyn Judson, E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey CA

Thanks all.
Sort of a tribute to a friend's Dad. Friend was on his way to the dump with various 6X6's and 4x8's and such that his recently departed Dad had saved.
I told him Harvey had good reason for saving them.

Nice job on the hatch!

(i don't suppose you'd like to make another one and sell it to me?)

Happy Sailing, the E27's sail great,
