Alerion 28 sinks in race off Shelter Island NY
Low bridgedeck, no hatchboards
A HUGE target there with that companionway.
Still, I wouldn't have 'thunkit' likely in that sort of seaway.
I googled Alerion Cockpit image; I give them a bye.
It's a daysailer with a huge mainsail
Define Daysailer; A sailboat with a big cockpit, big mainsail.
And here was another solution to that flooding cockpit problem.

Wow Charlie, do you need a license to fish with a cockpit;)
ROFL-- this was a Canadian boat and he said HE didn't catch the fish, the fish caught HIM
Very well delivered.
I remember drydocking subs in Groton..
