In replies to an earlier post some of you referred to the Maurice Griffiths designed double coaming forehatch. I can imagine (I think) how this works but if anyone could post a photo or sketch, web address or even a reasonable description I'd be grateful.
Thanks
Pete

Hi

If you PM your email address to me, I would be pleased to take a couple of digi pics of our forehatch (MG designed Golden Hind) and send them. As well as being 100% waterproof during our six year tenure, it has detachable hinge pins and can be reversed to drive air in when motoring.

All in all an excellent design.
