Mads and Ava, living aboard their 1987 Warrior 38 named Athena in Grenada, fabricate a custom deck hatch cover to improve ventilation and reduce cabin temperatures during the rainy season.Watch Using inexpensive outdoor canvas with a water-resistant membrane, they sew two panels together with a Sailrite sewing machine and suspend the cover between the mast and the staysail furler.3:22 Webbing loops at the corners allow for tensioning against the lifelines, successfully preventing rain mist from entering the forward cabin while allowing hatches to remain open.6:54 The project also provides significant shade, cooling the cabin during the day.7:17 Separately, Mads repairs a slow drip leak in the membrane housing of their Rainman watermaker by tightening the connection between the housings.11:39 He also replaces a Hella Marine fan at the saloon settee with a more powerful unit to improve airflow.14:54 The genset remains inoperable due to a faulty actuator and unresponsive customer support from Fischer Panda.12:47
