Hatch and Coaming Kits
Last year while building her kayak at Chaa Creek in Belize, Joan discovered that having to use solid wood for the cockpit coaming added an extra week to her project. Many builders learn that sourcing marine plywood and getting it to the shop can be costly and awkward. Our pre-shaped hatch and coaming kits are an attractive option saving you time laminating and shaping solid pieces.

The Bear Mountain hatch package uses Ted’s nifty wooden cleats and is attractive and functional - engineered to hold the cover on with maximum downward pressure. Heavy duty, flexible double rubber gasket seals tight. The low profile fittings with smooth edges won’t snag gear.
