Offshore sailors....on a low breeze low swell day do you ever sail with your hatches/ports open or are
you always buttoned up tight including your cockpit hatch and storm boards in place. I'm asking this in
response to the cat accident and the possibility they were caught out by a sudden change.
Not being an offshore sailor I'm not sure if this happens although I have heard of rogue waves of course.
Can you relax on really 'quiet' days, or doesn't it work like that ?.
