Multihull enthusiasts may know that designer Dick Newick passed away last year. Among his things were a stack of posters of his amazing, and historically significant, proa, "Cheers", as painted by artist Bruce Alderson. One of these posters has graced our walls for many years and we are pleased to be able to offer them at a special price. Please read more about "Project Cheers" HERE.
Initially, we have set the price for the USA as postage is easily assessed.
For Europe, we would prefer to send several posters to a distributor. Individual postage from here to Europe, runs at $24 for the cheapest method. We hope that by having a distributor in France, postage will be far less.
Interested persons from outside of the USA should contact me to get on the list. Anyone interested in buying several for resale should contact me. QUANTITIES AT THIS PRICE ARE LIMITED.
Please note that a portion of the proceeds for these posters will go to Mr. Newick's widow. In addition, there are a limited number of posters signed and numbered (253-294/400) by painter, Bruce Alderson. We are also in the process of re-publishing the book, PROJECT CHEERS. Please see our webpage for details.
'cheers!' PTW

UPDATE: Port Townsend Watercraft no longer produces these hatches. We still have the instructions online HERE and for savvy DIY folks, it may be enough information to create your own. Additional tips: The lid thickness must match the cut-out thickness, the gasket notch depth is cut to .185", and the recommended gasket can be found on Mcmaster Carr:: Super soft latex tubing # 5234K96. The information below from this old post is left available in case there are any helpful details to glean for making your own.
Port Townsend Watercraft has expanded it’s line of water tight hatch kits. We have recently developed watertight hatch kits for the SCAMP from Small Craft Advisor Magazine. (see discussion at the SCA link) These are similar to the very successful water tight hatch that we use in our PT Eleven nesting dinghy. These hatches can be used on any kit boat where the dimensions allow.
Our hatches differ from their plastic counter parts in that they are actually water tight. This is achieved with the combination of a very rigid lid and coaming, the right gasket, and really slick machined Delrin turn-dogs. They are a bit of work to install and finish but the hatch kits come with a very complete photo manual and the result is an easy to use, flush, and good-looking hatch.
The kits (Used to) include the machined high quality Okoume plywood parts, (coaming, stiffener and lid), gasket, machined delrin turn-dogs, fasteners, kevlar tether, and instructions.
Several people have asked for the dimensions of the rudder and daggerboard that we offer.
We recently had a rather large run of foils (dagger-boards and rudders) machined that are not quite up to our standards.
They are very slightly less accurate than our our usual nearly perfect foils and on the dagger-boards there is a small depression on the starboard side only. 
This low area is visible in the photo and would look a bit odd on a bright finished foil.
We painted the upper end of a dagger-board from this batch to hide the filled low spot and it looks really sharp (see photo).

Click for more detailed information on our foils kits. Also, see our options page for the PT 11.
All of our kit parts, including the foils are cut from the highest quality Lloyds okoume marine plywood. Note that 12mm plywood is now only available in the 7 ply instead of 9ply as shown in earlier foils kits. This means the foils now have 14 plies instead of 18.
Call or email for more information or to order foils. Cheers,
