Mike,

Those hasps are know as bullet latches and are lockable using the traditional small padlocks. The beauty of them is that they don't bloody your shins like the old hasps and latch automaticaly when the hatch is dropped. I consider this a safety feature as the integrity of the hull envelope in heavy weather is protected to a greater degree. These bullet latches are used by "J-Boats" on most of their models although I bought these from an on-line vendor.

You might note also that I replaced the original bronze open style turnbuckles with stainless steel tubular type, which was also a good modern upgrade, in my opinion. If the boat were to be built today, she would have these. The backstay tensioner was salvaged from a Tartan 27 with a distinguished racing history in her day...but was ready for the chainsaw to make way for the next group of abandoned boats.

Thanks for your kind words. Good luck with your project.
