New Hatches

Both needed replacing so I replaced them both. Got the exact model Houdini foredeck hatch from England via Folkboat Central. It was almost a perfect fit. Had to grind down one edge just a bit and some of the holes didn't line up perfectly, but I made it work. Kinda like problems like this. Also, got the teak cabin hatch and that fit perfectly. Should I varnish it? I don't know, you tell me. While we are looking at these pictures, I also replaced all the cabin control lines. I think the all green thing looks great. And yes, the mast is no longer dark green. More on that later.
