Ours were misshapen, weatherd flexible Vinyl, which we replaced with new from West Marine.

Re: Rear vent for albin25
I was searching for a vent a few weeks back when I broke one of ours. (Just before I sold our A25).
Based on my search I think Albin used RV plumbing vents for the mushroom vents. I found a supplier online that had vents that looked almost exactly the same and I believe had the same hole pattern as the originals.
http://www.dyersonline.com/custom-plast ... -vent.html
This is just one example.
There are slightly different shapes and styles but they looked like they are all a standard hole pattern and very reasonably priced.

One of our BC Albineer friends, Peter Boldt if I remember correctly, used small stainless steel bowls for various vents and covers on his A25, which i think is still for sale. I'll try to find some pics.

Re: Rear vent for albin25
I too went the RV plumbing supply route. Picked these http://www.rvlifestyles.com/parts_store ... ts_id=3904 up for less than $5 each. Bought a couple as spares for when they break or get lost.
I found a comparable "marine" item online for $20. I figure if they only last 2 years, it'll take me 8 years to break even.
