http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

| Author: Brendan Subject: lewmar hatch replacement Info: (1753 views) Posted: Friday 1-26-24 03:33:21 PM |
If you want the hatch opening aft, no modern hatches will fit without a riser--they will hit the lip on the deck when opened. This is a problem with most boats built in Santa Cruz (Moore, Express, Olson, etc). If the hatch opening faces forward, it may stop on the mast before interfering with the lip.
On Express 27s, I've been installing Lewmar 60 medium profile hatches with a 3/4" riser made out of Starboard. I have a template for the riser so I can cut them out with a router. It adds to the cost ($140 for the Starboard, plus time to manufacture). I also put rubber door stops (from any hardware store) on the corners of the hatch to provide a better landing when the hatch is opened all the way.
I've been told that 3/4" is not enough riser for the Lewmar 60 low profile hatch.
I have not installed a new Lewmar Ocean 60 hatch, so cannot confirm the height of riser required.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions about hatch installs...
