At the end of the season I lost one of the mast inspection hole covers, one that allows access to main halyard and in-mast furling to attach the main sail. I found that there are two sizes available on Sailboat Owners Store: eight inch and six inch, but I did not measure it when I had a chance. Now that the boat is 200 km away, I would rather not drive there in winter.
Does anyone know what's the size of it on 2006 Hunter 33 with furling main?
Also, where to buy it in Canada? Or if there is a design that can be 3D printed? (I have access to that).

Thank you Hello Below for your quick answer.
Yes, it would be very helpful if you could measure yours, as I am planning to go to the Toronto Boat Show on Wednesday and hope to talk to the riggers there.

Our local library does 3D printing for the cost of the materials. I had 2 Selden 100S furler flanges printed 3 months ago for a total of $5(Cdn), taxes in. Almost identical to the OEM which retails for $61/each + shipping + taxes from Marine Outfitters.

Here is a free printing file for the cover I think you require. May be worth the time and effort to ask around. Most 3D printing outlets give you a choice of material and colour to use for the item.
