From what I understand, a bluewater cruiser should carry precut plywood blanks for every hatch and port on the boat and have a means of attaching them, especially with newer boats. The ports on my boat are old school bronze ovals with 1/4" thick glass. Anything strong enough to break them is likely going to tear the entire house off. The old wood hatches are a different story.

Giu,

Are you working again? It seems you have too much time on your hands.

Chock up another reason mine ain't no blue water boat...There are 15 ports and 5 hatches...I would need a trailer to haul all that plywood..

I you do not have planks then you can not walk them - therefore you can not be pirated.. or did I lose sight of what the discussion is about...

This is where we come here after catching a sardine, and tell how big the "tuna" was......

Or in other words...this is where we read the terrible 1000 foot waves and 300 knot winds...and the tall stories that come with them....more or less...

What Gui says has to be taken with a grain or bucket of salt. His connection to reality is somewhat tenuous.
