WTD: Info on Cutting Access Hatch Hole

[Carl Nord]

Good Morning All

I am a long time CD sailboat owner who has temporarily taken on a boat equipped with only an iron jenny for propulsion.

I appeal for intellectual assistance from this group. and assure you my current boat is clearly in the traditional lines of a CD.

I need to cut a large hole in the reinforced area of my cockpit. I did the same in my CD, and cannot remember what sort of blade I used in my electric saw. Can anyone tell me what type of blade to use?

Thanks

Carl:

A carbide-tipped fine-tooth blade, such as one suited for plexiglass or plastic laminate, should do the job without much chipping. It will also be helpful to apply masking tape to the deck and to the shoe of the saw, to avoid scratching and help avoid chipping.
