Mike,

Its a pity we aren't close enough for you to try to pull off one of my covers.
You wouldn't ever be concerned again.
Its quite difficult to start opening up the cover, but I use lots of magnets.
I expect the only thing that would cause the cover to be pulled open on the water would be actual crushing of the hull which would cause the hull to crease or fold locally.
I'm a retired mechanical engineer (structural design) and I understand wanting a margin of safety.
The only thing which could be better, IMHO, is using screws and nutplates.

To each his own.

Have fun.
