In looking at the deck, two things come to mind that we learned about hatches on this build.
First was to make your own hatch lids. Its very easy. Just get some melamine backed plywood or make your own. Its been described elsewhere in detail. They are light and strong and can be made to any size..
Second are the hatch gutters. Just use Coosa. It is strong and you can make them large enough and the flexibility in this method is incredible. Thanks to Bills 106 (at Lightning Yachts, Jarrett Bay Industrial park) for the tutorials on this method.
Hatches are just not that hard now. They used to be a bitch.
