Drainage of cockpit starboard 11. Drainage of gasbun and i think two hoses from the battery box 12. Aft of the cockpit drainage seacock port ( Will Find out what it is used for) 13. Aft of the cockpit drainage seacock starboard ( Will Find out what it is used for) Sorry only 13 on Swanic !!

I am asking only out of curiosity: what are the "spinnaker pole" drains discussed here - what am I missing? These do not make any sense to me.

Thanks,

Dear Geoff,

the S&S Swan 38 is the only Swan which has special designed recesses for the spinnaker poles (see photo below) and water goes very easily from the deck to this recess, so there are drains to discahrge this water to the sea.

Fair winds!
