Has anyone made companion way doors that slide in where the boards go? or know of a place that sells them?
Companion way doors for a 1983

I used 3/4" marine plywood. I made them in 2 pieces, upper and lower sections. The two sections fit into each other at an angle so that water will run off to the outside. Stained them then covered them in several layers of varnish. The upper half is narrower than the bottom half. I stapled canvas in the upper half and it covers both pieces. That was 15 years ago, it is still good.

The basic shape is pretty easy to make. I think the most nerve racking part would be the slits in the board. Not hard to do, just lots of measuring to get it in the right spot and do it straight. Some people have used vents or foregone the slits altogether
Catalina Direct likely sells pre made ones as well
