[C38] Companionway doors

[William Knowles]

Max I made a set of doors out of glued pine, with screen and Plexiglas
inserts they fit in the hatch board slots and are held in by cotter pins.
They work pretty good however the pine warped so I am making new pair out of
plywood. Some of the people at the marina have soft doors ( sunbrella) with
foam insulation. They work great. May have one made for Flying Goose. I will
take pictures if anyone is interested .
