[Public-list] Cockpit drains above water line

[Don Campbell]

Just another thought on this: If you want to stop the leeward side of 
the cockpit getting wet  because it gets below the waterline when on a 
heel,  (albeit not quite as far over as Gord, so that the cockpit drains 
over the low side), then a crossover of the drain hoses under the 
cockpit floor will prevent that. However, this configuration also makes 
it more difficult to get to the after end of the motor and fuel tank 
under the cockpit floor.

The water flow just isn't fast enough to keep it clean.  The straight drop Whitby used is probably the best from a practical point of view for getting rid of the water from the cockpit.
