[C320-list] hatches

[Chris Burti]

While we are on the subject of Hatches... while jibing on a downwind
run this weekend (and enjoying three days of glorious sailing) I
tangled the mainsheet on the main salon Lewmar hatch and finally blew
out the starboard hinge after nursing a jerry rigged broken port
hinge.

I was able to get back in touch with Florida Rigging and Hydraulics
from whom I had purchased some minor parts a few years back. Awesome
customer service by sailors for sailors. If you need any Lewmar parts,
the are a distributor, very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They
carry a comprehensive line of rigging and hardware as well.
