G'Day Tom, Steve and Paddlewise, I moved all my gear off the front deck and into the day hatch after a deckbag filled with water, then slipped off while remaining attached to bungies. It acted as a sea anchor and prevented a roll. My day hatch cover is a VCP unit and is attached to a point inside the hatch with a line. Not needing to worry about losing the cover makes using the day hatch straightforward for me despite a stiff neck. Are there day hatches fitted with metal clamps and are they more difficult?
