We really got mixed opinions, now need to decide what to do or not do ... Definitely do not want to experience what hapenned to ASH.
@Sandydlc: I prefer to keep the hatch lock and close but the admiral insist to leave it open to let the fresh air in and cool down the cabin. You know, usually the admiral always have the last word!
I guess it really depends on where you boat. If we're out on the Puget Sound, we will often take at least one wave over the bow. Just not worth the fresh air to risk getting salt water inside our boat. In fact, I don't think we've opened our forward hatch since we've owned the boat!
If it was me, I would recommend having the hatch open only at slow speeds.
