Does your cockpit locker have space to build a pocket for the dropboard so that it hangs vertical (along the cockpit wall) and only takes up it's width? You could make it out of Sunbrella and snap it in place. Store the dropbaord like a letter in an envelope.

This would be perhaps easier to do with a 2 piece door - not so deep a pocket (but a bit wider)

Your issue with dust/rain etc and a 2 piece dropboard could be solved with a Sunbrella snap-on cover for the companionway. Put a screen in it too and you have insect protection when needed.
