At the beginning where you were talking about the metal fittings needing to be of high quality, I was thinking about the possibility of using rope hinges on doors, those figure-8 lashings. I've not seen it done before, but if rudders were attached to the hull using rope hinges, why can't one use them on doors. I guess that they aren't great for doors that need to be water tight, but I am sure that something could be done....
