Sliding Companionway Hatch Cover

[goodintheory]

Does anyone know of any suppliers in the Annapolis area for a sliding hatch cover for a sailboat companionway? My current cover is made of thick, gray-tinted plexiglass (with wood edging to match the drop boards) and it looks like the previous owner succeeded in stepping or dropping something on it, creating a nice crack which I'd like to NOT have on it this winter. I could fashion it myself, but it has a slightly concave surface on the top. Any help or ideas would be great. . .

Thanks,
Chris

There was a thread recently where an owner made one from starboard. And he was able to use heat to obtain the curvature. I think any glass shop could do that.

I saw a sail plane plexiglass canopy shaped by using an oven. try searching the web.

Highly doubtful you will find one that is meant for your boat. You will need to get creative.
