The truth is his Prindle has vertical bulkheads that keep anything in a container within reach in the hull from the portholes.
I understand this is not the case with some other cats.
The only limitation is having to get it through the porthole.
Late entry:
An alternative is to drill a hole in the underside of the porthole lid so that you can tie a line to it and use it to keep items in the hull retrievable. The lids usually have a flange that can be used for this, so you don't drill through the lid..

Wow.
There's a production variance I was not aware of.
Sorry to have mis-spoken.
I raced a 1979 P-16 for 8 years and had to put sandbags in each hull every race to make up for my light crew.
We kept food, water and flares in there too. Karen couldn't quite reach the things that moved aft but I could.
The forward bulkhead was within a foot of the porthull.
There is an amusing story about a border patrol officer shining a light through my hulls during an inspection and demanding to cut them open. The full story will cost you a beer.
