A couple of weeks ago I posted that the cockpit drains on my 33 mkii were
frozen and the hoses had popped off. Upon investigation, I found that there was
a low spot in the criss-crossed drains. I am not sure whether they were
originally installed with a low spot or they just sagged over the
I experience the same thing, the cockpit had about 5 inches of water in it
during a thaw earlier this winter.
Another project to put on the list for the new Mark II.

I don't get the theory of crossing drains. Seems to me that a crossed drain
will start to approach horizontal as the boat heels and work less well.

Hi Sam,
If your cockpit sole is at an elevation where the leeward drain is
below the waterline when heeled then crossed drain hoses prevent
water coming into the low corner and getting the binoculars and empty
beer cans wet.
I have vertical drain hoses and no problems.
