I used to have a Newport of similar vintage to the 26. It was a C&C design and also had a small locker on the aft end of the starboard cockpit seat, sand drained into the bilge. On the Newport this was intended as a cooler for beverages and snacks in the cockpit. The drain into the bilge was probably intended to keep ice, etc. from getting contaminated with seawater when sailing.
