Why We're Not Centering Our Hatches (MJ Sailing - Ep 257)

Onto the main focus of this episode, our aft hatches!! These are the ones that will be in each master cabin, looking out at the transom. We’re sticking with our favorite Vetus flush hatches, and just like the ones on the front of the cabin, these will open as well. Due to that function though, we had to make sure their placement on the transom would work for us.

Instead of centering them within the area, we’ve raised them all the way to the top, as close as we can get them to the deck. This may leave us without the best view from our bed, but we have our reasons!!

Keep watching to find out. 🙂

We hope you enjoy!
