Companion way hatch boards

[johnmwalsh]

Hello everyone and happy holidays!! What are you guys/gals doing to stow your hatch boards? Did you make something from sunbrella or stow in a locker? Thank you for all of your help!

I glued Sunbrella using a spray adhesive to make a pocket when I had my C&C. Current boat has a channel under the nav station that it slides into for storage.

I went to a metal shop and had them fold a U shaped trough out of 3 mm aluminium which I screwed to a bulkhead behind the engine enclosure in the aft cabin. The three boards slide in and so far have not required any sort of restraint to keep them there.

Mine have a cradle in my starboard side lazerette the fit in.

On a previous boat I just left them on a berth for about 6 months until I looked behind the door for the aft cabin to discover teak cleats on the bulkhead that builder had installed to hold them. Current boat has cleats alongside companionway stairs/engine compartment. Look around carefully, not always obvious, sometimes you get lucky and builder recognized the need.

Custom designed sunbrella pocket with grommets which screw mounted to the bulkhead. PM sent.

I have a bag with three pockets in it that was provided by Tartan when the boat was manufactured.

Ours are 1/2" clear perspex (acrylic). They live in channels just under the top of our pantry, with a bungee to a hook to make sure they all stay in.

Lots of neat ways to do it!
