Hello O'Day List Members, We are buying a 1979 O'Day 30 with keel/centerboard. It is a project boat in many ways. (1)What is a replacement hatch for the opening in the cabin top of that model? (2)Are there brochures (reprints or electronic) available? (3)What is the configuration of the centerboard pennant? (4)Is that pennant all rope or part cable? (5)Are there any cautions to think about with the centerboard operation? (6) We are planning to use Beckson ports to replace all 8 as opening ports. We are planning to use the gray discounted ports that seem to be the appropriate size. Any thoughts on that choice? Thanks for any responses. Phil in Cape Coral
