<DIV>Well, its just an idea\thought. Im not sure on the legalities of it, but if there was a Kboat replacement, id be happy to make a prototype and test it. Otherwise i will probably make a new hatch anyway over the winter, seeing as i have the dish.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">We'll need to get Jon in on this for liability considerations. That said, I think there might be a set of Perry drawings out there (although the hatches are heavier than we need) and I have an archive of the Nekton construction drawings that I'm looking for a way to preserve. If the legal end doesn't bite us, then I'm sure we can figure how to adapt proven technology to our requirements, and then provide the result with the K-plans sold on the site.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Agree strongly with Vance here, the standard K hatch is rubbish. If anyone wants to chip in any ideas for a "club design" i'm happy to make it over the winter. I have a spare dish which was left over from the endcap hole II cut out. Its just the right size, dished and 13mm thick.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Otherwise im probably going to make one anyway (once ive put in a new kitchen at home.. :)</DIV>
<DIV>Kind Regards</DIV>
