Main Saloon Hatch

[Moved from 'Technical Advice' pages, dated 03/10/04]

Simon Bound had a leaking hatch on "Caladh" and decided he would have to renew the seal.  The question he originally asked was, "Has anyone done this or know whether the 'Rollstop' seal is available?" and "Where could he get one?"

Simon answered the question himself.  He discovered that the internal rubber seals are available from a company called 'Seals+Direct', who are also an agent for Lewmar.  The details are:

Post: Seals + Direct Ltd, 32 Marley Avenue, New Milton, Hampshire, BH25 5LJ.

He, in fact, discovered that the metal surround was bent and invested in a new Lewmar Ocean hatch, which he obtained from 'Sea Tech' in Emsworth.  They also are agents for Lewmar and can provide replacement Perspex for the opening port-lights.  Their details are:

Thank you Simon for the information.
