Hey Guys and Gals: The lazarette hatch/door on my '76 Catalina is cracked. I think I read somewhere that Catalina does not stock these. Is there a service where I can detach the door, send off and have a new one made? Thanks Melody

Melody, Try finding a furniture repair shop in your area to repair your hatch or a local cabinet maker could make you a new one. Dave

You have a 27 right?

I guess it doesn't really matter, does it? Yup, according to the customer service gal at Catalina Direct, the fire they had due to earthquake (talk about a double whammy) a few years back destroyed their molds. Now I asked specifically about the 22 so it might be worth a call but don't hold your breath. As far as replacements, you might talk to a local fiberglass repair shop. They might be able to use your hatch as a mold, but I'm guessing that would be pretty expensive. They probably can repair it relatively cheaply (as opposed to a new one). To find one, call a few boat yards. They may do it in house or have a contractor come in or be able to refer you. Good luck! LaDonna
