Sea Hood - for cost of ship

[Walter Pearson]

I have an unfinished sea hood made for E27 that I hesitate to toss in the dumpster. It's balsa-cored and needs a bit of fiberglass work around the perimeter. I weighs around 24 lbs. plus packaging. Shipping from 55119. More construction info, if interested. It was never mounted - photos just show checking for fit. The form used to construct layup is also available.

Walter, I'm interested, as this will likely fit the E25.

Hi Walter- I don't need the sea hood, but I was interested in how you installed the teak grab handle on the starboard interior of the companionway. What did you run the bolts through? I have a lousy metal handle mounted on the instrument locker and its virtually un-grabbable. I would love to have a nice sturdy handle in that exact location but I haven't been able to figure out a good way to mount it.

Thanks,

Doug

The boat had those grab handles when it was purchased. There is one on starboard and port sides. As best I can remember, plugged bung holes were visible top and bottom of the handles and I assume fasteners went into the edge of the side trim pieces. They were held sufficiently and I can hardly imagine living without them. The only photo I have (that was taken in the digital age) shows the handles a little better.
