Our hatches have reversible tops on them so if we're going to be in a marina for awhile and the breeze is from the back we will take the 10 minutes to switch them around. The hinge comes out and you turn them to open the other way. Thanks for the reminder about these things though.<br /><br />Deb<br />S/V Kintala<br />www.theretirementproject.blogspot.comDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093436662653044390noreply@blogger.com
