I have a deck plate starboard side of the cockpit wall just forward of the transom. It would help to open it at night, but I failed to see that. I am really not dumb, just crazy. A couple more, each side of the forward face of the cabin could catch some moving air and let it out at the back. There would still be some difficulty since typically the wind stops at night here and picks up during the day when I least need it for ventilation. My deck plate has never given away and it has never leaked. Phil
