Or worked with it for anything else? I'm just wondering if it's stiff enough for the span of those boards. I know 1/2" would be. Really need to replace my boards this off-season...would like something totally water/rot/warp proof for the bottom board at least. Turns out the west coast transfer warehouse for King Plastics is about 20 minutes from here, in the north Medford industrial zone. Ironically they can't actually sell me full sheets, they'd have to refer me to a distributor - but they do custom cutting for McMasters-Carr and have a cut-offs ('scrap') pile, cash/check only, that changes week to week. So it's just a matter of waiting for the right leftovers...black or white only though, no fancy colors. cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john@eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 23:06:44 -0600 From: Thomas Buzzi <thomaspbuzzi@gmail.com> To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: M_Boats: Starboard for companionway boards Message-ID: <CA+TbpAX2jD-=mq=TEkhUoZ+u5T+s2F9Pv6pT3X-M2Qozpqf3Vg@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Bet they would work fine, John. If you get pooped by a whopper of a following sea they might give but you probably would not be out in those kinds of conditions anyway. Be sure to reinstall barrel bolts on the bottom slide to keep it in place during a knockdown.

It was easy to work with and worked fine. As I recall I had to route the sides a little to clear. I don?t remember on the M17 but on the teak boards on my M15 I installed a 3/4x2? brace board on the inside where the two boards meet. I cut it on a 45 angle so that the boards dropped in nicely and don?t leak. I?m about to replace the 3/8? boards with 1/2? plywood teak. One problem with the starboard is that it is heavy.
