When we built KANDARIK we wanted a boat that could take any situation at sea, and still keep the inside of the boat water tight and safe.
The bridge deck in a boat is one of the most important aspects of our cockpit. It is designed to keep any water that may accummulate in the cockpit from coming down below through the main companionway hatch.
All offshore sailing boats really should have a bridge deck, yet today you rarely see them on newer designs. Too bad, as whatever water may fill the cockpit will go down below through the companionway hatch unless you have some kind of completely waterproof hatch board arrangement.
