CAL 33-2 Forward Hatch

Hello All! I hope most of you are able to shovel out and start thinking their might be a spring. I am working on the forward deck hatch on my 1988 CAL 33-2 and have a couple broken plastic items. Does anyone know the make of the hatch? I am thinking Lewmar but I don't really know. Of course a part number would be fantastic but anything I can get will help. I'm hoping to contact the manufacture to see if the broken parts are available. Thanks in advance and here's hoping to sailing soon! Rick Krems 1988 CAL 33-2 "Riff Raff" Cleveland, OH

Rick, I have a 1987 Cal 33-2 and the fore hatch is a Lewmar . Hatchmasters in Norwalk Conn. Will repair them. Also they have parts for the hatches. Still shoveling snow from the boat but spring is coming soon I hope.

Hi Rick, Don’t know about the other replys stating Lewmar hatch. Hwever, I replaced mine a couple of years ago with a Bomar from Defender. Always possible the Bomar was itself a replacement, but it didn’t appear so. It was Defender # 900528, Bomar Low Profile Performance Hatch. Was an extact match to the hatch on my 1987 33-2. I replaced the old hatch opening parts with the same part from the new one, left the old spigot frame in place as removal would have been awful. Cost me $415 which seems high but not outrageous compared with the repair cost of around $200 for just the plastic window. For a couple of hunderd more I got the latches and opening rods too, plus I have a spare frame! Seemed worth it to me.

Jeep and Ted, Sent pictures to Hatchmasters. We shall see what they say. My hardware broke when I removed the hatch. I am working on the opening now. I had a couple inches of rotten core around the aft 1/3rd of the hatch, and the gelcoat was cracking away. Maybe a hatch at the bottom of that slope wasn't such a great idea. Anyway, I have the new core in and I'm ready to put a couple layers of glass next week, then gelcoat. After that, replace hatch with new hardware I hope. Rick

All, They identified my hatch as a Lewmar Ocean hatch. There are a couple hinge options but they sent me the correct parts. Thanks again for the responses!
