Hello CSR fellows!
Question ???
The admiral and I are not agreeing on leaving the forward cabin top front hatch open while cruising (our cruising speed is 17 knts / 24 mph). It is secured with two brackets and quite heavy but I'm afraid it would rip off or break at some point. Anyone running with their top hatches open but securely tighten?
Same for the smaller one located above the forward head, do you leave it open while running at cruising speed?

Thank you for your input! Smooth sailing everyone!!!
