Re: hatches

That would be cool. Take lots of pictures. Care to write something to
be included in the chebacco Chebacco webzine?

Richard,
I will take a poloroid of it and scan it in for you the next time I
am home when the sun is up. Sunday looks good, as I plan to build
the actual hatch that afternoon.
I don't yet have any close up pics of the hatch slides, cover,
boards, etc. (Working on building a web site). However, Bud
MacIntosh's How to Build a Wooden Boat includes a diagram which
brillantly shows the design and interation of all these complex
parts. As soon as you look at the diagram, the whole thing makes too
much sense.

Can one of you gents that has sliding hatches on thier boats take a
picture and post it in photos? I'm particularly interested in the
slide construction, and weather sealing the hatchs.

Also, anyone have any pictures or ideas for making nice watertight
hatches? I have casting and machining capabilities.
