Hi,
A couple of years ago somebody tried to break into the boat and they
broke the plastic channel that the sliding part of the roof runs in. I
may not be expressing this well. This channel is screwed into the boat
and it looks like I could buy it somewhere if I knew the correct
terminology.
Anybody know what I’m talking about? Secondly, where could I buy this
strip of plastic?

Hi Allen,
J-22 boats use the same plastic slide. Contact a J-22 dealer or J-Boats
Company to get a pair.

Allen,
Look @ the McMaster Carr web site and look
for plastic profiles or fiberglass shapes.
There might be something there that could
be used.

When I replaced the ones on “Blue Merle” back in 1996/1997 I was able
to order them directly from Freedom Yachts. However, Freedom Yachts
is no longer in the sailboat business (they have gone over to
the “dark side”) and the parts are no longer available from them.
Nick is correct as both the Freedoms and the Js (J/22, J/24, etc.)
were built at TPI Composites (formerly Tillotson-Pearson, Inc.), now
Pearson Composites in RI. Common parts were often used.
The current J/22 and J/24 licensed builder in the USA is U.S.
Watercraft (http://www.waterlinesystems.com/uswatercraft.php) also
referenced at the J/Boats factory page
(http://www.jboats.com/jfactory_links.htm).
They show a J/22 and J/24 parts list with the Hatch Slide Extrusion
(part number 10004) – same part for both the J/22 and J/24.

John,
The slides arrived and everything looked good, except when I took the
screws out of the roof, nothing moved. I keep thinking maybe I’m
overlooking a screw or something…or maybe the previous owner glued
the thing down. The pleasures of boat ownership.

My plastic channel guides were broken of from stepping on them, so i cut off the broken parts and glued and screwed in ( using the same holes ) new ones that I made myself from an aluminum shapes bought from Home Depot. Now I am not afraid to step on this part of the boat. Some cutting and griding is required.

Thanks, Dmitry. That’s probably what I’ll do. I’m off to Home Depot.
I should have gone there in the first place.

Hmm… I think mine where glued as well. And I don’t remember taking it out completely.
I would have to look at it to be sure but I think what I did is, removed the top part of the guides almost all the way to the point where they go into the deck. I might have removed a back part on one of the guides in order to make the hatch fit in. The bottom parts I kept since they were glued in with something tuff.
The aluminum shape that I bought went right on top of the bottom part yet it was flash with what was remaining of the top parts. Shape was not as wide as the original guide.
The benefits - much stiffer guides that can be stepped on and snugly fit of the hatch
Negative side - not sure of the corrosion of aluminum, so far it lasted. Cosmetically, metal stands out among the harmony of stained teak and white jelcote. I haven’t done anything but covering the hole thing with white duct tape, but I am sure it can be painted or a white strip of plastic glued over the whole set up.

The cover over the sliding companionway hatch should come off. It
is NOT glued down by the factory. I did take mine off and found a
ton of mud wasp nests under it.
On my J/32 (built by the same company – TPI) the cover also comes
off after removing all of the screws around the edges.
Try gently prying with a putty knife. It could be stuck due to
age. Hopefully, the prior owner didn’t glue it down.
