[Rhodes22-list] Ernesto does a number on hatch cover

[David Bradley]

Mark, it's a simple idea (like most good ones), courtesy of Stan and Elton.
Tie a line from the pop top rail to the cleat on your centerboard cover
(inside the cabin) to prevent the pop top from being lifted.  The pop-on
style fender clips work well.
