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.

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?

Good Gravy! Bwahahahahahaha!!!

bob stores his hatchboard on the dock, so it's always handy.

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.

Hey Nutsy,

Do you store that Hatch Board in the Cockpit? Most people that have
Hatch Board store them below where they would be engulfed in the Fire!!!

They are stored below so as not to be lost overboard. Please tell us
where you keep yours and how you secure it and we'll look for it in your
pictures that you have posted. :^)

P/S My boat has Companionway Doors.

Really?

Your ignorance on this subject is quite impressive..... Well done!


In other words...Donal had no answer and nothing to contribute beyond another
troll. And he wasn't ashamed to be obvious about it.

The clue, of course, was it was raining when the fire started. That means
hatches were probably dogged. Sealing up the companionway may limit oxygen
levels enough to snuff the fire. The Tartan 37 cabin volume is quite moderate.
Binary Bill's answer is essentially correct. Of course, there is no guarantee
that this will work. The fire may continue long enough to sink the boat by
melting seacock hoses open underway.

You couldn't put out the fire with your whisker pole?





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Apparently it's too short.
