Rob--

You comments about making sure the poles of the magnets are properly aligned conjured up some wonderful images of hatches that magically leap off the deck. I suspect that it takes more that a little thought to get it right.

The construction of our language is every bit as important as our boats. Hatch magnets will never "effect" a compass, but they most surely will affect one that is placed too close.
