I have a dark grey sliding hatch from ePlastics. They used to offer a sample kit (and may still offer it) of four or five pieces for a nominal fee to help you pick the color. FWIW, my first hatch cover broke when someone was standing on it to furl the main. The local window shop that cut the

Just keep in mind acrylic is pretty inexpensive to buy and easy to find in all shades, shapes and sizes. I like a dark bronze to keep the heat out. I use regular wood shop tools to shape it like a table saw with a sharp carbide blade, a router table and pattern bit to make exact copies of ports and

I believe the ½ knot up/down rule is accurate much of the time and it includes staysails. I recall a conspiracy theory from the ranks of the Foredeck Union (FU) that bloopers and staysails were “make work” programs to keep FU members (I am a proud card carrying member) away from the boat owner’

The Nicro solar vents work quite well when new. However the motor in mine died after about 4 years. The unit was imo expensive at nearly $300 and loss of a $5 or less small dc motor turned it into a much cheaper mushroom vent. So far I have not been able to source a replacement motor. On Sun, Dec
