On our Mark II, the original companionway hatch does not seal out weather. There are gaps at the top of the vertical removable hatch board where it meets the horizontal sliding hatch cover. What have people done to weather-seal those gaps, particularly when away from the boat? I'm thinking about making a small canvas storm cover that fits over the joint and snaps down on either side. Some solutions get pretty elaborate: <a href="http://cruisingresources.com/Companionways">http://cruisingresources.com/Companionways</a> .
The dodger keeps weather out when we are around, but sometimes at the dock the wind blows rain under the dodger and at the hatch. And pre-post launch when the dodger is off and the boat is not in its winter cover, that gap is vulnerable.

I have a simple cotton canvas cover for the turtle that is nothing more than a square sheet with grommets. It overhangs about four inches into the cockpit and ties to the halyard cleats. It did a good job of keeping the weather out during Ike.
