C 157 docked right across from me at the Cleveland Yachting Club for many years! Small world to think that C 20 might someday wear Job Cite's hinges. The former owners have some history on 157 if anybody's interested.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm following up on a couple leads. Really appreciate all the support.

Glad to hear from a fellow Clevelander! The CYC ArCom Fleet was founded in 1967 and at one time boasted 27 boats. We enjoyed many years of one-design racing. Unfortunately, our numbers dwindled over the last 5 years and the few remaining boats race JAM/PHRF. I miss the good old days.

I'm thrilled that you have some hinges I might be able to use. Do you know whether the base half of your hatch hinges are tapered (thicker on one side) to compensate for the curved cabin top? On the Commander there seems to be  a left and a right hand version; they are not interchangeable. I heard from Mike Maloney from the Shorewood Yacht Club who said he's going to remove the outboard well on another boat this winter and will ask the owner if he is willing to send the hinges off to me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but also need to keep all my options open should this fall through. Many thanks for your response!

Does anybody have, or know where I can get, a couple hinges for the engine well lid? The hinge halves attached to my deck have broken and I'd like to replace them.

I am also a Commander owner (#20) from the Cleveland Yachting  Club, OH, and have a question about whether you still have the hinges from your hatch which you removed several years ago. The hinges on my engine  well cover have been damaged and I'm looking to find replacements.  (The part that connects to the deck).
