Thought I'd throw out a recommendation for a replacement hatch pull ring for the lazzarette hatch on my GB 32' Woody. Actually, there was a thread here or another forum (I can find it now) with a link to the item. The ring broke off the original brass pull, probably from trodding on it while the ring was sticking up. Anyway, I couldn't find a vintage one, so I ordered this close match from Austrailia for around $35 us. I had to remove a millimeter of wood from one edge and deepen the recess in the teak for the 'hole'. But turned out well. I might fill the screw holes and redrill, using the old holes has it sit a little crooked. Attached is a photo of the test fit before caulking it in.
