Thanks. I will do that. Where did you get that picture? I can hardly find any of my boat.

I do have newish lexan drop boards, I think they literally are bulletproof. I could come up with a way to latch the lower. And I will make sure I can latch all the lazerette sand the front hatch tight.

The Russian sailing his San Juan 24 around the Pacific had this setup to lessen water intrusion in heavy seas. Definitely something I would consider on your boat as well.
