It amazing all right .... when the force of the breaking wave across an
open transom throws you into the wheel.... and when you recover the
wave who doesnt want to be in the cockpit in the first place attempts
to rip your pants off and knock you off your feet as is 'empties'.
Nah ..... give me a place to hide.
An open transom is like standing naked on a sheet of plywood. If You
want a sailboard, buy a sailboard.
