4 September 2022. Mock up for the diameter of the round deck hatches.
Today I try out the diameter for the deck hatches.
It is a balance.
In port and in good weather and in warm clomates it is very desirable to have big deck openings. The intended cruising ground for my boat ranges from the equator to the high latitudes.
I can not have both.
I have to decide.
Fine weather and in port is easy. Stormy weather in cold high latitudes is difficult.
I have decided on a small hatch.
I cold stormy weather I will have much protecting clothing therefore the test is with me clad for outside.
