The clue, of course, was it was raining when the fire started.

Good grief!!


That means
hatches were probably dogged.

Hatches are always sealed when a sailing boat is underway.


Sealing up the companionway may limit oxygen
levels enough to snuff the fire.

That is the most stupid thing that I have ever read.

melting seacock hoses open underway.


Really?

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