The companionway dropboard on my boat (1/2 inch thick plywood) has rotted at the base. I am replacing it this winter. As I see it I have three options; 1)teak faced plywood, 2)1/2 inch teak dropboards, and 3) lexan or plexiglass replacement hatchboard.
I am interested in opinions of the list as to the best option. I would be grateful for information about sources of teak stock and the acrylic sheet material.

The holes are 1/4" on 1" centers. Two rows of them , offset, horizontally in about the middle half of the hatch board. I don't have a clue what angle - I hand drilled them but I would guess they are about 45 degrees which, with the angle of the board in the companion way, makes them about 30 degrees. Probably doesn't matter as long as the angle is enough to keep the water from going uphill.
Regards,
Hank Evans

Why bother with wood trim around the lexan or plexi ? We just polished the edges and made it maintenance free. The 1/4 lexan is a little sloppy in the grooves but that has never bothered us. You can mount your hasp right through the lexan or plexi.
