The problem is not from waves coming in the cockpit, it is if the waves wash right below into the boat. Given that the companionway opening on a G26 is so close to the level of the cockpit sole you should consider leaving the lower washboard in (and secured) when there is any chance of being pooped at all. There is nothing worse than a big gulp of saltwater down below!
