    Diana's name graphic, as designed by JC2, realized by Night Owl Graphics of Croydon PA. Pic is confusing as neighbor's Chapparal motor boat's arch appears directly beyond! Showing green-painted plywood 'winter cover' replacing foredeck hatch. No; pic is not squashed; the boat really is this sleek!

    Venting Air in the Locked up Cabin

    I have a 1984 ODay 28. When not used she sits buttoned up in the humid NC climate. I know I should have some air venting to reduce the chance of mold. There is not much space for adding a solar power fan and top side vent. I could cut a hole in the opening hatch just forward of the mast And...

    Hatch frames (interior)

    Hi there - Where can I find replacement "frames" (not sure if this is the proper term) for hatches? I have a '97 Hunter Passage 42. I just replaced my hatch lenses and I now want the interior frames to look good - not the dicolored plastic. I'm also open to custom framing ideas (wood etc). The...

    Widgeon foredeck hatch addition

    Hello all! I am looking to add a hatch to the foredeck of my 1974 Widgeon. I was wondering if there was any experience with this modification? For the life of me I can't seem to find any record online of such a thing. With that, I was wondering what the inboard side of the foredeck looks like...

    Companionway hatch gap on '83 Catalina 25

    There's a pretty substantial gap at the top of the companion way hatch. It isn't really possible to extend the weatherboard teak because there's just a tiny bit of space for sliding already, and you can't extend the companionway slides (eyebrows) because the pop-top would hit it when closing...

    Hunter 27 Sliding Hatch Question

    I am replacing the 2 piece lexan companionway drop boards with (4) 3/4"mahogany boards, and wondered what the correct interface is between the top drop in board and the sliding hatch. The sliding hatch has an extended hollow "rib" along the aft edge, and it seems like if I made the uppermost...

    1984 C36 Hatch Leaks

    Greetings, We have 3 Bomar hatches overhead - one large on in the center, one smaller one in the head, and a matching small one opposite of it to starboard. They leak. The large one seemed to be leaking past the frame, so we removed it and re-bedded it with butyl tape, but it still leaks...

    Sealing/Insulating Catalina 30 companionway hatch?

    A previous owner of my C30 built a companionway door which is pretty nice. However, there are lots of gaps and slots for cold air to get through, particularly near the top where the companionway hatch meets the door. This creates a noticeable draft when trying to heat the boat. What have others...

    How to make companion way hatch easier to open?

    The fiberglass companion way hatch on my catalina 30 is heavy and really hard to open and close, especially from the inside. Does anyone have any tips for this? Lube? Teflon strips? Aftermarket hatch? I also have a two-part hinged door that a previous owner fabricated. The heavy hatch gets hung...
