I usually slept in the cockpit of the sailboat...not down below. Anyone needing egress up the ladder would have been bad news with it's location in a fire, etc.. Of course there was a 2x2' hatch on the bow....but doubtful anyone would escape via it. In my althletic prime it was very difficult to do....wide awake and unstressed in daylight hours.
Hard to fathom this....so sad.
