Subject: Re: M_Boats: Hatch Boards
>>>>>>>>Do you ever generate scrap 3/8 in. marine plywood of a size to make
a 3
board hatchboard for a M-17??
I've tried to find Luan or Teak both locally and at Port Clinton, Ohio,
but to no avail.
I've got the lower third if I can get the rest. Be happy to pay
shipping...

I got a good bit of correspondence like this after last week's email, and
it
might make sense to ask, "Is there a critical mass of Montgomery 15 and 17
owners who need hatch boards?"
If so, and given accurate dimensions, CLC could do a computer-cut run of
Sapele hatch boards (drop boards? Wash boards? Is there any consensus on
what
the dingdang things are called?) and ship them out at cost or a little
above.
With the economy of scale it could be done quickly and fairly cheaply. The
owners would trim to fit and varnish to taste. A "wash board kit", as it
were.
I once asked a similar question on the Windmill Class BBS and within a few
days had orders for 20 daggerboards, which CLC did at cost. We entered
them
into our secure online ordering system so people could pay for them online,
and the boards slipped out painlessly through our fulfillment machine.
Just a thought. Cheers,
