and peace of mind, a hull should be a monolithic thing designed to laugh off anything nature could ever throw at it. Such a thing is of course not compatible with big light airy interiors or light performance. We each choose according to our priorities.

.
There are two hatches in floor. The one inside the is a hatch for escaping from the boat when inverted. It does leak a tiny bit when waves hit it. However, since it gets no UV damage we are not concerned about its strength.
The bigger one in the floor of the is for holding the . As shown in the video, this has an upper lid that hinges upwards to expose when the boat is right-side up. The lower hatch hinges downwards to release the liferaft when the boat is upside down. That is held in place with hinges and with two hasps that are held closed with bolts and nuts and then pins. I do like the idea of easy access if upside down.
However, waves do slam against that, which makes the heavy liferaft jump up and down in the hatch. Not ideal.
We have noticed there is rust on the bolts, so when (if ever!) we get back to our boat we will take another look at that and replace the bolts, perhaps with either titanium or galvanised .
My guess is that the pounding plus did snap the bolts. The hatch would then be hanging down by the hinges and would get ripped off by the next wave.
Once again we see the problem of relying on for mission-critical applications.

structure. This is an issue with there boats. There are incredible forces on the structure of these boats. It is incredibly expensive to properly design and construct these boats to withstand these forces over long periods. It is also incredibly expensive to fix this. Some manufacturers have done a good job with this but break out your wallet! You’re going to pay for this. Cats are expensive enough as it is. Hey, maybe a case for Dick Warrham cats! And the polanisans.

? If it's closed securely with nuts and bolts you'd struggle to open that with bare hands, which is what you'd have with waves through the upside down bridgedeck space. If the hatch is kept closed with friction loaded hasps, well, that's amazingly "optimistic".
Suggest you find 2205 Duplex bolts for much better corrosion resistance. But even 316 will still be strong when it has surface corrosion. If it develops crevice corrosion, that's another matter and justifies replacement of fittings every few years.

SAILING RANGE
Power range, leopard 42 catamaran, the new leopard 42 has the unmistakable dna of the brand.
Proof that you can have it all. The Leopard 42 is the organic evolution into the new generation of our award-winning line of yachts.
Built by Robertson & Caine and designed by Naval Architects, Simonis & Voogd, together we have created a revolutionary design that has exceed expectations by offering far more than anticipated.
This was accomplished all while maintaining our signature balance of comfort and uncompromised performance.
The exterior styling has adapted to the modern appearance of the award-winning Leopard 50, which features continuous hull side windows, a continuous hardtop, and what has quickly become our signature, an upper-lounge area.
Available in 3 cabin / 3 heads and 4 cabin / 4 heads, all cabins include their own private en-suite heads. All heads include their own designated shower area; a feature not currently found on catamarans in this size range.
The Leopard 42 has the unmistakable DNA of a Leopard Catamaran with plenty of new technology and building techniques used to make it a magnificent ocean-going yacht with a feel of space, comfort and performance only previously found in significantly larger models.
In the saloon, we have added a generous skylight, as well and an additional window in the aft starboard corner facing the helm seat. The forward-facing L-shaped galley is sure to entice any chef!
All bunks are now island berths that allow access from both sides. With windows everywhere space permitted, the natural light is amplified.

Fixing the infamous Catalac Catamaran window leaks
Once that was done I washed out the window channel with water, allowing water to get into the now wide open seal and wash the old gasket bits out. 3M 4200 requires clean surfaces to bond to the window and a small amount of water which remains in the channel actually helps the 4200 sealant to cure.
