I don’t know about looting, but I turned the midship hatch so it opened aft
for breeze in port, non interference with boom vang, and so on.

My v-berth hatch opens on the forward edge. I believe I have heard

something about offshore racing, looted or someone specifying that all
hatches open on the aft side. Can anyone provide wisdom or references on
this quandary?

Thanks

Pete-

My hatches open in either direction, you have the option on each hatch. I
keep the Vberth hatch opening fwd, and the two salon hatches are set up
where one opens fwd and one opens aft. Obviously having a hatch open
rearward towards the aft end of the boat will promote good flow thru
ventilation.

As for head hatches, I always recommend they open aft to draw odors out of
the head.

My hatches are all Bomar.
