Fred, All of my hinges have one hole. The break occurred between the hole and the hinge joint. I have posted additional photos on my blog but no write up yet.
I checked Wally’s site(our hulls are two numbers off), and it looks like his hinges are like mine with one big hole through the acrylic for each hinge. The latch on the other hand has two holes. Maybe around 1981, they changed the hinge? Here is the direct link to Wally’s page: http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/Projects/deck/hatch/index.htm Thanks again for you input. - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Dec 6, 2015, at 2:11 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2015 13:07:50 -0600 > From: Frederick G Street <f...@postaudio.net <mailto:f...@postaudio.net>> > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Cc: PME <dre...@gmail.com <mailto:dre...@gmail.com>> > Subject: Re: Stus-List little A&H hatches on a LF38 > Message-ID: <5296fd50-e2c9-41f5-bd42-89088414f...@postaudio.net > <mailto:5296fd50-e2c9-41f5-bd42-89088414f...@postaudio.net>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Paul ? that looks pretty nasty; and those lenses don?t look like they?re > original to me.
