Hatches and Deck Joinery: Episode 23 of the Carvel Planking series

The 24′ (7.4m) gaff sloop I am building has a raised deck but no cabin structure as such. A sliding hatch continues into a traditional butterfly skylight, and there is a separate forward hatch to a design that is common to most of the fleet, one that allows air movement all the time. The video discusses the timbers I used, the techniques and the sanding and finishing. All without using any Teak!
