Default A boat likely to be of interest

I wonder how much water gets into the cabin when the cockpit starts to
flood? Lets hope it has some monster bilge pumps.


You would need to ship water into the cockpit all the way to the
companionway door.
Very unlikely scenario. There is a big drain under a grate at the
companionway door, designed more for the purpose of preventing water
from entering the cabin when hosing down the cockpit. If you are 1)
shipping a lot of water from breaking following seas and 2) shipping so
much water that you are going to flood the cabin you have no business
out in those conditions in a small pleasure boat of any type.

Since you seem so fixated on this, how well does your own boat handle
following seas breaking over the transom? (If you don't know, that
probably says more for your seamanship than if you do).
