    Well, Dick, your first Alberg sail sounds just like my first sail,
in a Snipe, in the canals south of Freeport, Long Island NY in March of
1942. As you found, sailing a canal is a bit tough. We washed up on Guy
Lombardo's pier where we were fished out and made a lifelong friend.

    My Alberg has an 18 x 18" Bomar hatch installed as far forward in
the cockpit sole as you can get it. It was put in by a former owner when
he installed a Westerbeke Diesel. You might get some different opinions,
but I find it a great help. I have just put an 8" dia deck plate just in
front of the rudder post to help install wheel steering. Have had no
trouble with the hatch at all.
