where can I buy this catch?

[matelot]

the sort of catch that is fitted to hold down the anchor locker lid. it swivles through 90 degrees so that the lid cant be opened.

Daft though it sounds I've looked through every on line catalogue I can load and not found out even what its called!

I bought one a few years ago at Yachtparts in Plymouth (the one found in the entrance to QAB marina).

Cheers

We've got one like that on our Moody too. Try the Moody owners association, if they appear to be peculiar to Moodys - someone will know!

I managed to get a similar replacement for mine 7 or 8 years ago but found the hole spacing was different. Fortunately the same catch was used on a removable wooden panel in the cabin so I was able to swop them.

If I had had to fill and drill I think I would have considered a stronger type of catch. Mine had been broken by people standing on it. I can't see it standing up to a knock down or even ploughing into the back of a wave.
