[Public-list] Mast rake. Ventilation

Mon Aug 21 11:23:01 PDT 2006

The companionway hatch is 2 boards. The lower one is a solid piece, no 
louvers and the top is louvered. They were all make from teak. There is an 
Alberg listed that is in Georgetown MD that has a picture of the 
companionway hatches at:

Mike Lehman; Are there (Were there?) 2 boards in the companionway hatch? Did 
each board have a louver assembly? Were the louvers of wood and what overall 
size? Did they have insect screening inside? Ed. Schroeder #303

Thanks to all regarding your advice and warnings regarding shroud tension.
My mast support beam is doing very well, thank you. (Better than MY mast
support, but I digress.)

New subject: Ventilation.(I mentioned this before but got few responses)

Has anyone changed the ventilation sysem of the cabin? We are usually
moored to a slip so don't point into the wind. We have no louvers in the
companionway boards. We have a 3 inch cowl vent, always pointing forward, on
a dorade box directly over the head. We have a solar Powervent 3000 on the
deck directly in front of the forward hatch. We HAD a 3 inch diameter, 10
inch high, metal screw-in cowl vent that could be turned 360 degrees over
the anchor rode locker. One of the disturbed underprivaliged kids we take
out threw it overboard. Before I replace it, I am considering alternatives.

A dorade box above the rode locker would get stepped on under the sails.
A solar vent in that location would be subject to "green water" in a storm.
I don't think that I really need to vent the rode locker as we seldom get
the rode wet so there is little smell. There is not much room on the cabin
top for another Powervent with the fan blade blowing the opposite direction
from the existing vents. It seems that louvers in the companionway boards is
the way to start.

Has anyone used plastic or metal louvers in the companionway boards?
