Just forgotten one point. For my VCP hatches I couldnīt change into KS-OY ones, Iīve build last autumn a kind of spray-covers against the UV-radiation. I took some spinnaker-stuff-material (very thin cloth) and cut it round (or oval) shaped. Sew a round tunnel for a thin and strong rope. Than a place the cover over the hatches and fasten it with the rope, running through the groove (of the hatch). The cover fits the hatch exactly and you could give your boring black hatches some coloured effects, too. I hope the covers will protect the hatches against the UV-radiation, if not - it was a try. For the oval hatch I will sew a little bag on the cover, so I could place there some stuff, like a lamp, signal flares, trail rope ... in it. I offer this idea to some dealers and the Valley dealer. But the market denied a need. For sure, they like to sell new hatches every 2 years! all the best Jochen G. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
