In Response To: Strip: Hatch Size & Position (Glen Gray)

I have found that hatches provided in One Ocean plans a bit small for me, especialy with hatch lips considered, so I have cut larger ones. I also like to place the hatches so one can reach in both directions to access gear, but not so far to the ends that they are close to the sheer lines.
