[Public-list] Mast rake. Ventilation

Tue Aug 22 12:17:19 PDT 2006

I replaced my companionway sliding hatch and boards. They are made of solid teak. pictures are posted on the A30 site. http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/HullDeck/TeakHatchAndDropboards/<http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/HullDeck/TeakHatchAndDropboards/> .
I wanted to put in louvered vents but did not have the time. The kit looks like a quick way to go. I may make another top board from the kit. I looked at the hatch boards on the www.boats.com<http://www.boats.com/> site. the exact link is:

I noticed this one has a built in lock. Does anyone know where to get one of these locks? I would like to install something like this on my boat.

  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?
