Cockpit doors


I didn't care much for the original "lift out" panels. They were heavy (to me) and I couldn't figure out a way to store them securely. I made these with lift off hinges and I can still use a drop in panel with the doors open. Inside the doors I made removeable screens and drop in plastic panels to defeat air flow if necessary. Since the picture was taken, I've added hooks to hold them open.

Thanks for the kind words. Now that we're living aboard, we really appreciate the changes I made.
