[Rhodes22-list] Ernesto does a number on hatch cover

[Rory Orkin]

After inspection-- The damage seems easily repaired.. Went sailing today
anyway..:-)
What I discovered however is that it seems that there is no way for that pop
top to be held down..
Isn't there supposed to be a hole in the inner pop top support that locks
the pop top when closed.
This is a recon 2000 boat just purchased this year.. The only holes I have
are for locking in up position.. Is this a mfg flaw ?? 
I never realized it but as this is set up now , one could simply lift the
entire pop top up.. No lock other than on the sliding part.. which only
locks the sliding part. What am I missing ??
