Hatch

Good morning: Tanks to all for the advice on the keel! I'm looking for a deck hatch for the v-berth. Cut out size is 24" x 24". For what I have seen so far, neither Bowmar or Lewmar make it in that size. If anyone can send me in the right direction, either for a new or in-good-condition second hand, I'd really appreciate it. Best regards to all. Jeff '72 Cal 33

The " 24"x24" hatch has a cut out size of 24-11/16" x 24-11/16" It is a standard Lewmar Ocean 70. It is readily available at West Marine and others for @ $900. I got it for around $600 using my Port Supply account - if this size works, you might search the internet. Lewmar Ocean 70[http://images.westmarine.com/full/530972.jpg]<http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/189346/377%20710%201042/712/hatches/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/WMPrice%7C1?N=377%20710%201042&Ne=712&Ntt=hatches&Ntk=Primary%20Search&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&N#> I was able to open up our (non stock) Vee Berth deck opening (22"x22") to fit the hatch by moving the underside beam 4" forward. I then had to make an epoxy curb as the deck is curved, to fit the hatch to a flat surface. West Systems six-10 is a great product for doing something like that, it is a premixed epoxy "gel" that squirts out of a standard caulking gun. If you need a custom hatch made exactly to your dimensions, it is possible.. but may take a little work and time. Or you may try this link - I believe they have a standard cut-out hatch your size, and may make custom sizes http://tinyurl.com/ykaufc4 [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/test/lab1.png]<javascript:;> [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/test/lab2.png] <javascript:;> [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/test/lab3.png] <javascript:;> [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/test/m1.jpg] INSIDE OPENING Part No. Size CUTOUT SIZE OVERALL ACRYLIC THICKNESS WEIGHT A B C D [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-08-I<http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-08-1.dwg> 8-1/8x13-3/4 206x349 8-1/8 206 13-3/4 349 105/8 270 16-1/4 413 1/2 12 3.5KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-10-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-10-1.dwg> 10x10 254x354 10 254 10 254 122/1 318 12-1/2 318 1/2 12 3.5KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-20-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-20-I.dwg> 12-1/2x17-1/2 318x444 12-1/2 318 17-1/2 444 15 382 20 508 1/2 12 5.6KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-30-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-30-I.dwg> 14-1/2x19-1/2 369x495 14-1/2 369 19-1/2 495 17 433 22 559 1/2 12 7.4KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-40-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-40-I.dwg> 16-1/2x16-1/2 419x419 16-1/2 419 16-1/2 419 19 483 19 483 1/2 12 7.0KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-50-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-50-I.dwg> 19-1/2x19-1/2 495x495 19-1/2 495 19-1/2 495 22 559 22 559 1/2 12 9.5KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-60-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-60-I.dwg> 24x24 610x610 24 610 24 610 26-1/2 674 26-1/2 674 1/2 12 13.2KG [http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/cad.PNG]LDH-70-I <http://www.manshipmarine.com/images/stories/dwg/LDH-70-I.dwg> 31x31 788x788 31 788 31 788 33-1/2 852 33-1/2 652 1/2 12 19.4KG IN/NM From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeffrey owen Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 2:27 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] Hatch Good morning: Tanks to all for the advice on the keel!

Ahoy Chris, Take a vacation. Come on down to south FL. We'll get Magic out on the water, drink some beer and/or rum, smoke a cigar, and tell lies. --Michael-- --- On Tue, 11/24/09, Chris Campbell <cl… [at] charterinternet.com> wrote: From: Chris Campbell <cl… [at] charterinternet.com> Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] 2009 GSC Regatta To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 11:04 AM Michael D wrote: Hello Everyone, Here are some photos of our recent race.
