[Rhodes22-list] Door choices & wish list

Tue Dec 16 18:55:43 EST 2008

Rumster,
I have also tried to store the hatch this way but I obviously do not know what you guys are talking about.  I really need a better place than the lazarette b/c on a cruise it is usually full.  Can you explain it better to me, like I'm a dumb ass? 

What do you mean by putting the short side up?  Is it folded when you shove it under the seat?  Are the hinges up or down?  Is it forward of the coaming compartment - as far forward as possible?  Where is this mysterious slot that supposedly hold it in place?  HELP.  I can't figure this one out and everytime I hear another description it seems to be different than the previous one.  Do I need a decoder ring from GB?  Maybe I need in-boat service and a bottle or two of rum?
