However, don’t be influenced by the illustration posted above into going for the 45×45 escape hatch (I did) – it is too big – the one that fits is the 40×40 deck hatch. I found that it was necessary only to sand down the central fore and aft surfaces of the combing, but mouldings might vary.

A Vetus was too large for my particular forehatch, but I managed to get a smaller glass hatch from a different manufacturer from the Dauntless Boatyard in Benflee, Essex. After cutting the shape and bolting on using a good amount of sealant, I used six small screws to secure the hatch back into its normal position, along with a considerable amount of sealant. Result: superb. Looks great and is totally watertight. Adds extra light and ventilation to forecabin at very little cost or time.

Can anyone help?
