Hatch and Laz gasket

[Jon]

As Sirocco gets closer to her launch date, I've noticed that I need to replace the weather stripping on her forward hatch. Is it possible that we might be able to get some interest in an order for the hatch gaskets/weather stripping kits. I only need one, but I'll buy two, if it helps meet the number of orders required to get an order placed. I'm ready if ya'll are.

I'd be in for a set.

[Commander 147]

Me too, I'd buy for hatch and Laz and probably a double set for spares.

How does it look for another request for a gasket set? I'm assuming the gaskets work for both Ariels and Commanders? I have recently purchased #229, and am having a ball sailing her! Thanks guys/gals!

Maybe if Bill sees this discussion he will chime in and see what we, as a group, might be able to do.

Offshore on one of those MV things heading for Alaska. Couldn't get the spouse to make the trip in our Ariel Upon return will research getting another order of weatherstripping. With the increase in oil prices since the last order, I anticipate a substantial cost increase. Hopefully, it's not too large.

[Commander 147]

Good news Bill

Hope we can put an order together. I'm certainly in.

Enjoy your cruise.

[Jon]

Me too. jon

As noted previously; I'm in for a couple sets...
One for C-187 and a spare.

[C38]

Awesome!
I'll be in for a couple sets as well!

Bill have you had a chance to make any progress on this?

[Bill]

Ops. Came down with the cruise ship virus after debarking and the matter has slipped my mind . . .

I would also like to get a set. I just installed some weather stripping from Master Carr which is adequate but I cannot see it lasting too long.

The good news is that the manufacturer still has the extrusions for our two weatherstrippings. The bad news is that the price has increased 17.5% and the minimum order has increased from 25 feet to 100 feet. Our original order was 186 and 300 feet of product that gave us approximately 50 sets of weatherstripping. It took five years to work off that inventory!

A quick check indicates that we can sell the kits for only about $4 or $5 more than previously. Our original price was $47 per kit, so the new price will be $51 or $52 plus shipping. (Maybe a little more for the Commander as its forward hatch is larger, but I need to do more research.)

Meanwhile, we need to hear again from those interested before expending something in the neighborhood of $1600.

around the forward hatch and the lazarette with my wife's cloth tape and I came up with 76" (so round it up to 80" for fudge factor) around the forward hatch and I came up with 117" (so round that up to 120") around the lazarette and it looks like it takes about 200" or 16'8" so round the total up to 17'.

I'm in for twice that amount or 34' if we can put an order together.

From your post it looks like there are different extrusions for the forward hatch from the lazarette. On Destiny the material looked the same. Are they supposed to be different?
