Hey James,

I am also interested, if they are still available. Where are you located? Are there any pictures available?

Thanks,

Brian

Hatch Renovation: It is probably too late to be of help but most mariner yachts suffer from leaky hatches because the internal plywood has delaminated.
I can suggest (in brief outline): (1) Removal of the plywood - poking it out from the frame and upper teak battens and fill the gaps with teak strip using epoxy . (2) Lay up with mat, rovings and core mat (polyester absorbant mat ) to form a 'tray' in both halfs of the hatch underside. (3) Fix tray edges to frame with large head screws. (4) Paint interior.
Also - for the frame corner joints (before laying up repair) - (1) Cut off corners with diagonal cut and replace with block of teak. (2) Fix the new corners to frame (screws and epoxy) and also internally with wood pieces or metal brackets. (3) Trim the outside of corner blocks flush with frame.
I renovated both hatches on 'Legato' (M31) - now strong and watertight. Will send pics to projects if anyone interested.
