At some point in this Islander 37's recent history, the boat was stored for a long period of time with the bow down 5 degrees or so. As a result, water collected in the sill area of the companionway hatch. It leaked into the boat, I'm sure, but, more significant, it caused dry rot in the mahogany woodwork framing the companionway.
Replacement black walnut replacement frames were created. 3M 4200 was used to secure them in place with very few screws used to just hold them in place until it dried.
