The cover fits the coaming. And the importance of being able to change a gasket in the field.

Lucky again. The cover fits very nicely over the coaming. Also about my idea of gasket. Gaskets deteriorate over time. By definition a cruising boat is meant to be away from ship yards often in a desolate location. There it is not easy to change a gasket. To glue a modern gaskets you need warm and dry conditions. You need a primer the a glue and good even pressure. This mostly means unscruving the hatch and sending it back to the manufacturer to hae the gasket replaced.
As you can see in this video there is an alternative way where you not even need tools except your fingers.

Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
