Has anyone come up with a clever way of stopping water getting into the cockpit from the coachroof?
On the 445 water from rain or spray drains off the flush hatch area between the mast and cockpit into channels. There are 2 channels that then run past either side of the companionway and drain just aft of the wash boards and runs onto the cockpit floor. It then very annoyingly makes an otherwise very dry cockpit (with dodger/Bimini) very wet underfoot.
I’m amazed I haven’t found any comments about this on google. I also haven’t found a solution but would be very pleased to hear if anyone has.

I think we sail pretty hard and certainly get the occasional wave over the boat but you must be getting some monsters!  It is only very occasionally that we get water down these channels.
[Edit: No rain in the Med and our dinghy might shield the channels from the worst if the spray.]

Il est vraiment dommage d’avoir cette écoulement d’eau dans le cockpit 
Il serait intéressant de trouver une solution

We have same, stared at dribbling water many times thinking of solutions ... but learned to live with it! Be interested if there is a cure.
