Thanks for that John, I've come up with an internal bungee system, I'll see how it goes. If not I'll try your way. Thanks.

I simply have a piece of cord that goes from one rear cleat, over the hatch, behind both gallows posts, across the other hatch and secured around the other rear cleat. Simple quick and never lost the hatches even when towing.

The Hull / Stern Hatches

Hello, does anyone have any experience with securing the hatch covers?. Mine are just held down with gravity and there is some string to stop it going over the side. I've thought about using bungee cord, but just wondered if anyone had found a more elegant solution. Thanks, David.

Very sorry to hear that and very best wishes for the future, hope you manage to beat it. Thanks for all your work as administrator, when I bought my WB about 7 years ago this forum was absolutely invaluable. I'm afraid my IT skills are woefully inadequate to help. All the very best from WB 93

After some 15 years managing this site, it's time I retired - I also have cancer and the outlook doesn't look too good at present. So it's time I handed over. Anyone fancy taking over the site? It's written in PHP and is relatively straightforward.

If interested please contact me at admin@winklebrig.org

Regards to all
