Some detail pics of the swing around panel design.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.


I guess the big trick is how to locate the hinge line
so they panel can swing around any framing for the companionway.

This on uses two features to do that.
First, the hinge spacer moves the hinge line away from the wall.
Then there is a recess that fits around the framing.

I looked at a lot of photos of how this was done on other boats.
Each boat is different, and the panel arrangements are all quite different.
Just work out what will work on your boat and go for it!

It depends on space but a friend solved the problem by cutting out a
section of the cabin wall, to S.B. of the hatch and bonding in a
Plexiglas panel. the instruments are mounted behind the glass looking
aft and the fwd side is covered by a panel. Looks quite nice from both
sides and doesn't impede access to the boat.

But, as I said, it does depend on space available.
Cheers,
