most boats in the 30'~36' range have 3 hatchboards. I store mine below, as
do most that I've seen. Your made up scenario is stupid.

Pearson 30: 1 hatchboard
C&C 29, 32, 33: 1 hatchboard
Hunter 40: Two hatchboards
My buddies P39 also had one.
Oday 35...One again!
Many boats I see no have two or even one. Makes things easier.
Poor Scotty Potty! Can't get anything right.
