Help with rebuilds
Several owners doing rebuilds have suggested that it would be useful if there was somewhere where they can ask for specific assistance, for example for pictures of specific items that may be very damaged or missing on their boats. This is that section! Please ask your questions and leave your answers below or email them to corribeeeditors@googlemail.com – thanks very much!

Hi Can anyone help me I have recently bought a Mark 11 Bilge keel Corribee 21 and have totally gutted her. I am trying to design a better anchor drain arrangement than the current bilge draining option does anyone have any ideas.

Later Corribees have an anchor locker – the bulkhead is a piece of plywood glassed in place, and there is a small triangular ‘floor’ glassed into the bottom. A drain hole drilled through the hull allows water (from the anchor warp) to drain away. The problem is the hatch – triangular in shape – which would have to be fabricated from grp.
Alternatively, Jake Kavanagh worte an article about building an anchor locker in Practical Boat Owner, possibly in 2008. You may be able to locate a back issue by getting in touch with PBO or even posting on the PBO section of the YBW forum http://www.ybw.com/forums/index.php

Does anybody have a close up picture of a companion way hatch, sliders and retaining woodwork open and closed? I have a very distressed Mk2 and have the hatch itself and the wooden rails that retain it but nothing else. Are there supposed to be rails of some type for the hatch to slide on? If so, what size are they and what are they made of? Are there any other components to this mechanism – some kind of seal for example? Any assistance and photos gratefully received!
