Several attempts have been made over the years to build a new one. With the overriding desire for something strong enough to stand on being the major factor.
Here's the latest offering...
...which isn't too bad, but i'd prefer something a touch better.
So it's time to go looking for a new one, something a touch like this one...
It may be over capitalising on the Jedda a touch...but in the current market washing it is over-capitalisation...besides, i like the boat and ain't planning on getting rid of it anytime soon...
The only dilemma i may face is finding one which will fit without too much trimming / building up, etc required.
Anyway, i have dimensions from catalogues so the next step is to go and measure the hole for size...no doubt i'll keep you all updated!!
Happy sailing!!
Hi Tim
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is over capitalization if you get the new hatch. It will give the piece of mind while sailing, knowing nothing will leak in and that you can stand on it while playing in the rigging or doing a Titanic bow scene (lol)
Get the clear one so i can se the foredeck girl ;)
