[C320-list] Bomar Hatch Help

[Rod Boer]

Hi Jamie,

I don't know where you sail but I have been told that there is a vendor in
the Chesapeake Bay area that has a booth at the Annapolis Boat show that
does replacements of the Lexan.  I plan to look him up and remove my hatch
this winter and have the Lexan replaced.  I hope this helps.

Subject: [C320-list] Bomar Hatch Help

During a long weekend cruise we got caught by a few scattered showers. In
his haste to close the Bomar salon hatch my son hauled it down while the
hold- opens were still tightened to keep it in the venting position - he
meant well, and the floggings will heal.  (Just kidding).
 
The result  - cracked acrylic across the left corner and through the dog,
and as you might imagine the hatch now leaks.
 
So I need some advice - can the acrylic be replaced or just the upper half
of the unit, or do I need a totally new hatch? 
 
Also, does anyone know if Bomar can be reached directly ? I cannot seem to
find them - is the parent company Pompanette ? 
 
Finally, anyone upgraded to Seabreeze or any other hatch ?
 
Any input appreciated.  Thanks.
