Fore Hatch work

The fore hatch was basically been held together with varnish. When stripped of the old varnish the hatch just started to crumble before our eyes. So luckily, with the help of some epoxy it has held together and looking respectable covered in very generous layers of left over Coelan from the mast job. It will last out a couple of seasons but am aware that a new one needs to be made sometime in the future.
