It could go on its side... I am wondering if it is a shelf from the sink cabinet.

Thanks you for the advice, Alan. Again I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge contained within this group. Tonight I was reading in Don Casey's "This Old Boat" about caring for a mast. He said that you may want to paint a mast if it is oxidizing. Otherwise he recommended waxing the mast wh...

Terrence... I have never approached this boat project to achieve perfection, that is to be flawless from any perspective. I am intending to live by that 10 foot rule that everyone speaks of for viewing a paint job. If I were to paint around the upper shroud connections, who would notice or care. And...

I was thinking about this project based on the results of another Chrysler 26 in the harbor (see the pictures of the other boat below). This mast and boom were painted over five years ago, and the boat has passed through the hands of four owners since being painted. I need to do more research into t...

I have a steaming light in that place on the mast. The PO installed incandescent deck lights on the spreaders that do a good job of lighting the deck at night. I doubt a deck light from the mast top would do to much good. There was another post about LED spreader lights that looked like a really goo...

Thanks for the help, everyone! Some engineers in my office have McMaster-Carr catalogs, so I should be able to find the material quickly. Hopefully I do not see anything else I just have to have during the looking... those catalogs are fraught with cool stuff!

I checked the cushions last night and there are velcro strips that look to be at the spacing of the rivets. I have to assume the rivets held the velcro mates for the cushions. Thanks for the help!

I will have to check out the cushions at home to see if there were any places for snaps on there. The rivets do not do all the way through the cabin ceiling, so that is a good possibility. Almost everything on the boat seems well planned out... which makes the hinges for the anchor locker look extra...

Terrence... that hatch looks good! Nice work. What is material you have under the rails? It looks like rubber from here, but that can't be it. Windwalker... does the hatch really move around on you with the extra head space? I thought about not replacing the plastic, but worried that the hatch coudl...

Sliding Track for the Hatch

When I removed the teak rails for the hatch so that I could refinish them, the plastic layer beneath the rail disintegrated. The material seems to be some type of nylon or similar plastic that I could not find an equivalent to while re-finishing the teak. See an image of the rail before I removed it...
