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). |
