Sailboat boneyard

[Gene Smith]

My Pearson 323 did not come with the optional compaionway sliding hatch sea-hood. Does anyone know where there is a boneyard where I could buy this bolt on part from a wrecked Pearson 323?

No idea - but did come across this article of somebody who built their own, albeit for a Bristol 29:

Building a Seahood for my Bristol 29

Not sure if there are too many wrecked 323s out there...only about 350 were made, and so they are likely pretty rare as scrap. Still, only 140 of those are registered at pearson323.net, so you never know.
