Matthew, I would give Hatchmasters a call, they do amazing repairs and reglazing on all brands.
I would be surprised if they didn't have the part you're looking for.
Tony used to be the sales guy; they are in Norwalk CT.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Need to replace forward hatch on 35 mkIII
I was liking the idea of Lewmar.
And I think the low profiles look great but I don’t see access from top side which the fore-deck guys likes to have to get spinnakers in and out easily without having to go below.
When you say easy drop in on Lewmars, I assume I would need to rip out and replace the frame that attaches to the deck. I was thinking of trying to just change out the hatch first. A friend told me of his troubles trying to get the frame off the deck. If it’s a direct replacement the hinges would match? I don’t think I can do that with a Lewmar based on the diagrams I saw. My issue is the hatch itself, I suspect no water is coming in from the bottom frame.
I have a couple of emails into Atkins and Hoyle though I have not heard back yet. I’ll keep on them.
Again thanks to all. The collective wisdom is amazing.

I replaced all the hatches on the boat with Lewmars. Saloon hatch and forward hatch were drop-in replacements, the head hatch took a bit of glass work but works fine.

Our 77 C&C27-3 had an Aitkens&Hoyle hatch, much better than the Bomar hatches on our 85 33-ll, which have been replaced with Lewmar Ocean series hatches. The angle of the forward hatch made the low profile hatches impractical, and the raised Fiberglas
either side made them unattractive.
I’d rate the A&H and Lewmar Ocean series comparable .
That is a handsome looking hatch.
How do you compare the overall quality compared to Atkins & Hoyle or Lewmar?

Hi Matthew Atkins & Hoyle make the direct replacement, but there is an alternative - I put on a low profile stainless hatch from these guys.

I'll look to see if I have any pics.

Hello CnC list,
I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what kind and where I can find a replacement for my forward hatch on a 1983 C&C 35 mkIII.
I am hoping I can just get a new hatch and use the existing frame, though I assume it comes with a new frame as well just in case.
I measured the outer dimensions of the flanges on the frame at 20 7/8” square, the outer dimensions of the hatch at ~21 13/16 square, and the inner distance between the hinges on the hatch at 14 1/16”.
I thought this would use a Lewmar replacement but the dimensions don’t seem to match.
Thanks in advance.
This list is great, I wish I had more time to read it.
