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!!

Subject: LEAKING HATCH

Hi:

Lewmar does sell hatch replacements (of the same size) for three hundred sum odd . . .

However, I simply rebedded the existing Lexan onto the original rubber seal in the old aluminum frame.

I used ther clear silicon-based bathroom tub seal . . . and it works great. It's not actually silicon, dries clear, and is a little harder/tougher than regular silicon seal.

mb.

:: I HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGONAL LEWMAR
:: SUPERHATCH. IT IS LEAKING BETWEN THE UPPER FRAME AND THE
:: ACRYLIC. LEWMAR SAYS THEY HAVE NO REPLACEMENTS AND
:: REFERRED ME TO" SELECT PLASTICS" WHO THEY SAY REBUILDS
:: THEM.

:: I WILL CONTACT THEM BUT MEANTIME,HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD
:: THIS PROBLEM....ANY SUGGESTIONS?
