I have also heard about boats sinking because they took water through the vents in heavy seas. how can you prevent this?
On a 23, the bow vents face forward so they scoop air underway and the stern vents face aft. Flip the bow vents around and that will lessen the amount of water intrusion while preserving some form of ventilation. Without totally deleting the vents there will always be some type of intrusion.
