Patrick,

I recently rebuilt Calypso’s companion way slider and adjacent areas. Calypso 
was built by Bruckmann. If you are interested in pictures and details let me 
know and I will send them by email.

Has anyone pulled out the companionway main hatch on a Landfall 38?  It looks 
like it's not as simple as one might expect - to remove it I'll need to unbolt 
our traveler in order to unscrew the 40-odd screws holding down the fiberglass 
companionway cover and clean/scrape the old butyl and sealant.


It's not possible to just slide out the hatch acrylic since the fiberglass 
hatch cover blocks that (I could cut a slot in the fiberglass in 2 spots to do 
it, but don't want to do that). I have a photo I’ll try to attach below.


The reason we need to pull the hatch is that there seems to be something jammed 
in the track slide - sometimes when we try to slide open the hatch it jams on a 
screw or something loose in the track, which I can't see or recover.

The fiberglass cover is also due for resealing anyway, as it leaks in some 
spots.

This looks like a big job, just wondering if anyone else has done it and has 
tips or a blog post.
