In Response To: Where do I put my hatches? (Kris Gabrielson)
If you put the hatches right against the bulkheads the bulkhead will substitute for reinforcement of that end of the hatch. Maybe a stripper deck is strong enough without reinforcement, but with plywood decks you need to add something to help the hatch cutouts withstand the loads of re-entries.
