I've read about it several times. Even in a home, fire safety PSA's
say to "close the door" if you can't fight the fire effectivley.

Idiot! Closing the door in your home doesn't take any time!


Ummmm...Donal, I have a single hatchboard. I can slide it in place in less
than
2.5 seconds. Does your Beneteau have a jigsaw puzzle for a hatch or are
you
suffering from OCD?


I have a single hatchboard (unfortunately). When we are underway we store
it in the aft locker. We could launch the liferaft in the same time that it
would take to get the washboard.
