When she hits the water in about 2 weeks she will be new from the bronze keel shoe to the top of the mast and everything in between.
I didn't find any ports I liked any better and will say the NFM's are worth every penny and a great company to work with. They included a template for a hole and cutting guide. The only cutting was about 1/2" at the center of each top and bottom.
I did add the teak spacer and screens and they look even better from inside the cabin.
I will detail the refit with photos (before and after) as soon as I get my act together.

Mike,
Exactly what I was hoping to do. Nice non-skid. I used Awlgrip, Grand Banks Beige, with their additive texture and it looks like your same color.

Thanks Ben,
I think I will go with solid mahogany. I just finished new cockpit coamings and the wood hatch will be a great compliment to the new hull and deck.

Chris,

The yard where Im doing a major refit has admitted that they lost the sliding main hatch while the boat was in the paint shop. Does anyone have an idea for building a new hatch possibly teak or mahogany.

A response to a question I posted says, :Yes I have, check out A145 Skybird on this site." How do I find A145 Skybird
Thanks for any help, Chip, C124 "JOY"

Has anyone used Newfound Metals opening port lights as replacements for the originals
