Vetus of Schiedam in the Netherlands has recently launched two new ranges of deck and ventilation hatches.
The hatches in the Magnus range are extra heavy duty. They are CE classified AI, which means that they are designed for ocean use and can be fitted in any part of the hull or deck.
These hatches are provided with friction hinges, which will keep the hatch open in any position, without the need for stays. The hatch can be opened through 180° and there are virtually no obstructions in the hatch opening.
Magnus hatches are available in seven different sizes, which are interchangeable with most common models on the market.
The Altus range features a sturdy aluminium profile which is only 21mm high. They are CE classified AII, meaning that they are designed for ocean use and can be fitted on deck.
Altus hatches are provided with twist grip hatch adjusters. They are available in eleven different sizes and shapes.
Like other Vetus hatches, both the Magnus and Altus ranges can be opened from inside or outside the boat. They can also be left locked; either completely watertight or in a ventilation position.
The frame profiles are hand-polished and anodised. The acrylic has a thickness of 10mm and the colour is "dark smoke". An aluminium counter flange and a mosquito screen are available for these hatches.
