[Rhodes22-list] cabin NYCreplacement

[Michael D. Weisner]

Jeff,

Not exactly around the corner from LI.  Are you attempting to replace the 
companionway door or the pop-top slider, I'm confused?

The original wooden door (circa '81) was made from 1/2" teak veneer plywood. 
Using the original (if you have it) as a template, the two pieces can easily 
be cut to fit, the edges routed and the original piano hinge reapplied.  The 
more recent designs use starboard in lieu of the plywood.

The pop-top slider is a fiberglass piece that should probably only be 
ordered from GB.

I think a call to Stan is your best bet.
