The hole in the cockpit locker is for ventilation of the sail storage area
and serves as a bolt-hole for Mr. Chew, the ship's cat. He loves to
go in there and sleep and hide from jet-skis when they come buzzing
around. It has a water tight cover that fits into it when underway in
rough conditions where a wave or rain might come into the cockpit.

You let a cat in the sail storage area??
