[Rhodes22-list] Plasteak Hatch Boards

[Stephen Staum]

When my wooden door started looking bad after 5 seasons in salt water,  
I made a new one from smoked polycarbonate.  It looks like plexiglass  
but is harder & more scratch resistant. It is maintenance free & much  
lighter & easier to handle than the wood. I also fabricated the door  
slots from marine starboard eliminating more wood & maintenance. I  
believe total cost was no more than $130.

Low/no maintenance = more sailing/less fixing
