In Response To: vent/hatch (pic) (Todd)

I was thkinking that the hatch on the foredeck was primarily used to vent the cabin, which is why I had refered to it as the vent/hatch. I figure I will have to find soething of similar size and then I would place it in the same place on the foredeck, reinforcing if LN reinforcing if necessary. So the main thing I was looking for was the size and placement of the foredeck hatch and to know whether or not it is re-inforced and if so, how. I had net seen a front vent where it appears you have one. I am interested in that also, but I am more likely to do the hatch. My boat is the same color as yours and like yours, doesn't have to bow pulpit I see on some pictures. But it looks like from your picture that you don't have the traveler; is that correct?
