 Making hatches and prepping decks and sanding

the hatches have been in progress for a while, and I have decided to remove some of the material on the locating face of the originals - it lightened them considerably - it was done using a router and a template and a guide bush

- I managed to wreck the crash box hatch in the process - so I made a new one, (see the bottom pic for the small triangular crash box hatch) the curves for the companionway hatch are in progress - this will be the biscuit tin rim, and the mast bulkhead watertight hatch is having a sapele mahogany  "stile" added to give the hinges a secure base (bottom pic)





of course the  deck sanding and prep is ongoing
