Hi Sam,
If your cockpit sole is at an elevation where the leeward drain is
below the waterline when heeled then crossed drain hoses prevent
water coming into the low corner and getting the binoculars and empty
beer cans wet.
I have vertical drain hoses and no problems.

Changing the subject slightly, my cockpit drains are not crossed,
they go straight down, and work fine.
I don't get the theory of crossing drains. Seems to me that a
crossed drain will start to approach horizontal as the boat heels
and work less well.
So what's the logic behind crossed cockpit drains?
