[quote=tamumpower1]Just got back from a big A cat/F16/F18 event. The majority of people just drill a hole in the lid, stick a small 2mm line though and tie a knot on the outside then attach the line to the inside of the hull in various ways. Most didnt even bother sealing the hole the line went through since they are race boats and are not on the water long. But a small dab of silicone in the hole would fix that problem.
I'm going to attach mine but instead of drilling a hole I'm just going to scuff up the underside of the lid and just epoxy the rope on with a like 3 knots in it to resist pulling out.
I've lost a 6" hatch we forgot to screw back on in the surf right before a distance race once. Tried duct taping on a plastic bag but that failed pathetically. Luckily we werent heavy enough to bury that hull when double trapping down the coast...but it was pretty scary to look at the whole time.[/quote]
