[C320-list] companionway sliding hatch replacement

[Warren Updike]

Mark, how big a piece of plexiglas broke off?  When we bought our #62 in 
2004, the hatch had the same problem.  It has not been a problem, though I 
must admit we do no blue water sailing.  I'm going to remove the sea hood 
this spring and at that time I'll move the connection point of the stop a 
few inches to new material.  The repair won't be apparent from the outside. 
Otherwise, have you tried a Google search for lexan, plexiglas, etc.  How 
about Catalina Parts in CA?  I'd be surprised if they don't have one or can 
tell you where you can get one.
