Taping on a hatch is always a good idea, even though not totally necessary with the SV27. Just keeps water out if you flip it over. Everything on the inside of the hull is water proof. The tape by AquaCraft is 72 yards long, will last a very long time. I'm on my second racing season using the same roll
Most all racers use this tape because it will not leave residue, is water proof, does not allow water to seep under the tape, etc., etc.
Another popular type of tape is hocky tape, that also works well.

I just got back from my LHS and they had some kind of tape made by aquacraft,but it was $13.00 [X(]
I didn't see what was so different about it,that I couldnt get away with from some cheaper tape. My wife brought me home some medical tape,it seemed to bond well and came off easy without leaving glue on the boat.
What's the purpose of the hatch tape,is it to keep the hatch from flying off,or to seal it up if it turns over?
