I think I'd be interested as well, except (to throw a wrench into the works) that I need a slightly larger finished size of approximately 36" x 36".
I liked my Ash plywood hatchboards until they got black streaks in them despite my best efforts to seal them. I guess I'll consider them "practice". ;-) Tod -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Riker Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 7:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: M_Boats: Teak hatchboards and toe rail Steve, I'm interested.

Mine are plain plywood which have faded and warped. The newer M-15s use a 1/2 inch hatch board. My older M-15 has a 3/8 inch hatch board. Steve E. found a source of teak faced plywood in Maryland called Harbor Sales. They have a two sided sliced teak 9.5 mm plywood that should work, item 489MSTAA.5 Link: http://www.harborsales.net/ Look under Nautical & Marine for sliced teak. The problem is, they sell plywood in 4 foot x 8 foot sheets. A sheet costs $168. They are located 500 miles from me. The overall size of the hatch is about 28 inches wide by 28 inches high. They will cut the plywood into twelve pieces of approximately 12 inches high by 32 inches wide. The cutting charge is $8. This would yield enough material to make four sets of hatch boards, with the total dimension of each set being about 32 inches wide by 36 inches high. The cost per set would be $44. Would you or anyone else like to jointly purchase a sheet of plywood? Steve R.
