hatches1

Shots of Vaea's recently built Griffith-style hatches. Not only more water-resistant, but much more secure. I found a water-tight, low-profile, locking T-latch to use on the hinged forward hatches. I still need to install a way to hold them open . . .I'm thinking! I had no trouble the last sail in 12-14 knots, but they need hold-downs for sure.
