Topic: Bubble Hatch
Was the bubble hatch , that you see on some contessa's , a factory option or a modification that some owners did on their own ? Does the bubble open like a hatch or is it fixed ?
Thank you
Re: Bubble Hatch
Good Question.
As you probably know, astro domes were commonly fitted to small craft by serious blue water sailers pre satnav.
Ours is most definately fixed as I spent the better part of a weekend last month re-fixiing it to cure a deck leak I've got no idea if it was a factory option, but from the way it was mounted, I'd guess it was a long ago DIY job by a previous owner.

Thank you Ian . I wasn't sure why some boats had this option and others didn't .
Re: Bubble Hatch
Does anyone have a picture of a Contessa26 with a bubble hatch that they could post or email to me? I've never seen one and I'm curious. Suzeh.
