| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

Depends on if you turn it around (so it opens facing aft). The newer lewmar hatches will not open facing aft (at least as far as I can tell) because they hit the slight rise just in front of the hatch hole. This causes them to break (cracks the frame and lexan). If anyone has found a solution for this, please chime in.
If you leave the hatch opening forward, then it will stop by hitting the mast and you won't have any problem replacing with a newer Lewmar hatch. The newer hatches fit the hole fine, though the bolt holes are in different places.
New hatches are expensive, and a chunk of Lexan from Tap Plastic is probably not that much. I don't know what it would take to get the rubber seal, though...
