Regarding latches, if you weren't going to lock anything (many good arguments not to), what would be wrong with simply drilling a hole in the lid and running a bit of line out through the hole (knotted inside) and down to an appropriately sized clam cleat? The metal latch deal just seems like such a pain... t Tom Smith and Jane Van Winkle M15--345 Chukar M17--064 Unnamed

Is the person who bought the orange-hulled M17 from Hooper's Yachts (Afton, Minnesota) a Montgomery Mailing List subscriber? I was surprised not to find it listed at http://www.hoopersyachts.com/ . . .
