Re: [IC27A] Hatches

[Mark Robertson]

For me opening the hatch while sailing always results in my jib sheets getting hung up on the hatch. When not sailing I open the hatches and have a 12 volt fan that works well. My wife doesn't like the heat either. >>> "baileyedwards123" <baileyedwards...@yahoo.com> 6/30/2010 9:33 AM >>>   With the dog-days of summer fast approaching, getting maximum air through the cabin is a must. I don't have a wind-scoop, but I'm hemmoraging money on other projects and plus it seems to be kinda a lot to fool with for someone who doesn't do a ton of cruising. In the spirit of working with what I've got, I was wondering what y'all have found as the best opening angle for the two small hatches and big forward hatch to promote wind flow. Is 45 degrees best? Now, fully admitting that this may be a dumb question, I'm happy to look dumb here if it yeilds a response that helps keep the cabin cool and my old lady happy! Thanks in advance for any advice! Thanks, Bailey
