: I was hoping to not have to pay $15 + shipping for a manual that I
: barely used the first time. I did many modifications to the
: cockpit: recessed,hardwood / cedar riser and combing. I also
: skipped the plywood hatch joke and made flush hatches in the
: deck. I also changed the bulkheads, and a few of the formers to
: change the deck profile both fore and aft of the cockpit. so I
: guess I may have talked myself out of needing a manual.

I'm concidering building a shearwater hybrd 17 and I'm curious on what the "ply woold hatch joke is" also, are not the hatches flush as designed?

thanks in advance
