It proved to be Very helpful to me and I am sure to all the commenters here!

I guess we won't really know how well this works until we test it, but hopefully we'll be okay. If not, we can always plug up that hole and try something else.<br />@Anoymous - yikes. That is bizarre? So many boats are set up like this but I guess if it's not *just* right, weird things can happen. I sure hope that doesn't happen to us but we'll have to wait and see I guess!Windtravelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933432135694020418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-80383399656436562922012-12-10T00:16:48.622-06:002012-12-10T00:16:48.622-06:00Agree with above--our old boat had a setup like th...Agree with above--our old boat had a setup like that and a prolonged beat to windward set up some sort of crazy siphoning action and we filled the locker with water to well above the waterline--no idea how it worked...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-55481193418405176172012-12-05T11:54:16.897-06:002012-12-05T11:54:16.897-06:00Sounds like a great plan!

Just try to make sure that drain hole is high enough that the bow doesn't flood and lose buoyancy when beating. Believe it or not that's pretty common. Beth Leonard has a good discussion of that in her guide.<br /><br />David & Elena, svTigress Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
