[Public-list] Offshore Preparation

[Roger L. Kingsland]

R. E. cockpit drains, would it be feasible to install large diamater (3" to 
4") drains at the outboard bottom corners of the lasserette bulkhead (aft 
end of cockpit) that run horizontally aft and exit the hull underneath the 
transom.  I suppose there would be risk of "back wash" from following seas, 
but perhaps some kind of flapper valves similar to those I've seen for 
motorboat exhausts could be installed.  I guess a lot depends on how high 
the cock pit floor is above the water line particularly when healed over.
