In a recent post, http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/s2/index.cgi/read/8131 I listed the things I'd sent to IdaSailor What other things should we have available? (In another post I also mentioned that they do hatchboards in smoked plexiglas OR in HDPE). Would anyone want this -- clear plexiglas replacement covers for over the LK trunk (at deck level) to replace the OEM covers that do not allow viewing of the LK)? Possibly the special hinges for the 6.7's hatch to the companionway? That would allow people to make some experiments and mockups for alternatives to use while sailing which would prevent water from pouring down the companionway in case there was a drastic knockdown to port. And, speaking of that area, can someone invent a better latch/lock for the 6.7's hinged cockpit cover? Something that from the outside: can be locked, unlocked, or latched (but openable) AND from the inside: can be locked, unlocked, or latched (but openable)? Any other hardware items made from ss; alumium, cast aluminum, brass or bronze; HDPE, etc.? I don't know what FG fabricating facilities they have but will ask. Please list your suggestions below.
