I'm looking to replace/rebuild my 2 interior doors on my 1984 C25. The wood is salvageable but the fabric is shot. Any suggestions? Has anyone found a replacement source? Is there a post of anyone that has rebuilt theirs? I was thinking it would be a nice winter project.

Thanks,
Brian & JoAnne Gleissner

First, a question: Have you hit your head on the rail for the folding doors? (That's a rhetorical question--the real question is how <i>often</i> you've hit them. They're often called the <i>head-knockers</i> here. )

My plan, until I sold the boat, was to remove those doors and the overhead wood pieces that hold the rails, and probably replace with fabric curtains with hooks. I also recall pictures of somebody's rigid doors that didn't require the knocker--I don't know where they are. (Check the Tech section.)

So that doesn't answer your question, but...

Dave - I'm fortunate to be only 5'-11" so I just clear it. Haven't hit it yet (I'm sure I will tomorrow) and my 1st Mate is only 5'-3" so she is good to go. I've moved this topic to the General Forum, posted accidentally on the Swap Meet. Sorry.
