If it ever matters, nothing else does. Lots of fishing boats carry
plywood covers for the windows. Generally you try not to go overboard
while you put it up from the outside. Any fisherman will tell you that
is sucks to be there, when the waves are taking the windows out.
When the Queen Mary had the pilot house, 93 feet above sea level
flooded, and nearly capsized, the thirty footers she was running in
were no big deal to something that big. Couple of hundred ships
disappear without a trace every year.
