The canvas cover looks like a great idea--and easy/inexpensive to either do or have done--I may go that way to keep water at bay (or in the bay as this case may be!). However, if one is on the boat during a rain event--the canvas would not be very practical since it is attached on the outside although I suppose it could be done. Thanks to Charles Schaeffer on Resolute, I have some idea of location of the teak rails on my original hatchway and what they were meant to do--evidently prevent water from going around the edge of the sliding hatch and direct it to the fixed hatch, where it was to drain thru the limber holes in the hood. Of course this was not obvious to me when they began to fall apart and I removed their remains from under the aft part of the hood. Since the removing the hood looked to be a formidable job (lots of screws plus it looks 'heavy'), I shied away from removing it to have a look at where the rails were. Chuck has assured me that the hood is not that heavy so replacing the rails is a possibility I may 'reverse engineer' a replacement of them but I have no drawings, photos or memory of what size they were, where or how they were mounted and how many there were. If any lister has a picture or diagram or knows where one may be, I would appreciate a pointer to it. Of course, it looks like the rails may not do a very good job, even if new, based on some lister's experiences. Maybe I will just live with a cover!

Bob, I would have leaks around the flat area and under around the companionway teak frame.

Over the years, I would track down, fix, and find new leaks. The leak varied on rate or duration of rain, or wind directions and strength. Inspired by Dennis' canvas companionway hatch cover on Touche, I made my own and have not had a companionway leak since. It was a good little learning project which has turned into a huge success.

Those ?tracks? indeed hold water in that cavity outboard. If they are gone, the water can overflow that much easier. I actually added height to the sliding tracks with a strip of wood. Also my boat was floating bow down so that cavity forward of the hatch opening collected water but wouldn?t drain aft into the cockpit. I moved my anchor and chain out of the anchor locker to under the cockpit to change the fore-and-aft trim to help. Rob Ball.
