ANCHOR DECK TOP PANEL
Weight; 36 Kg.
This panel was made earlier as a full panel. 200 kg foam was set in the at the hinge locations before it was infused. The hatch openings were cut out on the CNC machine and glass was laid up around the cut out to create a 12 mm lip. The hatches were vacuum bagged in a mold machined into a piece of 32mm MDF. The 12mm foam was cut undersize to create a gutter for the lip to fit under. As all 3 lockers are drained a water tight seal is not required. The 2 outside hatches can be held open to allow ventilation for each bedroom through a screened Port light in the back wall of each locker.
