Cutting A HUGE Hole In Our Boat & Installing An eBay Hatch | Sailboat Story 209

The forward cabin in our Westsail 42 has zero ventilation. There’s no dorade vents, no hatches, and no portlights – nothing. This is a big problem because the forward cabin is Molly’s room and she’s going to cook in there if we don’t do something about the lack of ventilation. So we bought a used hatch from eBay to install in the forward cabin, but to do so we must cut a HUGE hole in the foredeck of our sailboat.
