more fairing....... hatches are all glued/glassed down now. A little more fairing on the inside sides and we will glass down the leaning post and console.

last of the hatch covers. I pop them out after the laminating in the top skin, then core/glass the rest. I built the first one entirely in the mold and it was a bit of pain to remove.

this little hatch fits really tight between the bilge hatch and the leaning post. in fact the flange will partially be cored ny the rear of the leaning post/live well - you can see the sharpie marker on the hatch outlining where the leaning post will fall. These two rear hatches will not be used very much. I think I will use a latch on both sides so the hatch can be removed completely for better access. somethign like these, with the gasket should be pretty close to water tight.
