I am  replacing the hatch over the v-birth, the main hatch and the 
lazarette.   I was planning to use the exiting frames as a guide to make new, solid 
teak,  frames and using teak plywood for the tops.  My thinking is the 
plywood  would be easier to work with and more stable (less expansion / 
contraction ),  but I would hate to do this and see the tops  delaminate.




Be careful on what quality of teak plywood you buy. Generally it is one ply 
 thick and vulnerable to sanding through if you ever need to refinish it. I 
went  through the veneer on my drop boards, so ended up painting them to 
match the  deck.
