Hi Brian All can be DIY question is how much do you want to DIY? All these items take lots of time and good weather conditions to fix. Windows have been discussed extensively on this list - check the archives. I used the SikaFlex system 10 years ago - still going strong. Forward hatch can either be rebuilt or replaced. If the frame is good then rebuild is preferred. Select Plastics in Norwalk CT is a reliable source Companionway hatch - I just replaced mine. Remove main traveler, remove hatch cover, remove teak pieces from plexi, take plexi to plastics shop (I used Laird Plastics who are nationwide) to replicate, reinstall. The hatch cover has a design issue in that the coring goes to the edges allowing water to get in through screw holes. Mine was completely water logged and spongy so I removed and rebuilt mine a few years ago and fixed by having solid epoxy about 1 inch wide around perimeter.

It’s time to upgrade my windows, forward hatch, companionway hatch and blinds. The windows and hatches are leaking and have crazing. The blinds are worn and outdated. Any leads/advice is much appreciated. Thanks Brian S/V Rekofa 1979 C&C34 _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
