Main Hatch

The cabin top hatch and the sliding hatch cover are in pretty good condition.  A little bit of green algae.  I have given the hatches a good scrubbing with a little soft scrub with bleach and the pieces are looking clean.  All of the hardware that was removed has been lined up and these will be cleaned and polished as well.  I will prep the damaged glass with tapered bevels and then I'm planning on using fiberglass fairing compound to fill in the rope burns.  I will then use some color matched gel-coat to clean up the small blemishes but I'll be careful to avoid getting carried away.

I still need to locate some sandwich panel for the lower companion way.  If I get in a bind I'll make one out of marine plywood for the time being.  I need to buy some marine plywood for the interior projects.  Just like on the exterior projects it is slow and steady progress.
