Love the woodwork.  Well done.  Is that plexiglass over your main hatch box?  How is it working out?  Your dingy looks like a beautiful rowing dingy.  Is that a Fatty Knees? 

 

Cheers and beers,

Jim

Yes indeed, I rebuilt my skylight since the old one had been repaired many times with various woods. It also was leaking. I rebuilt the new one using all teak, and safety glass from an auto glass place. 7117-1.jpgImage Enlarger

Had same problem with leaky butterfly hatch.  Solved problem by putting yacht acrylic material under the piano hinge.  Seems like a lot of water can get thru that hinge.

Cheers,

Jim
