grasshopper hatch

I have been looking at the grasshopper design and have a question about the rear hatch. The hatch includes a short section of roof and the hing is on the roof. It is done this way I assume to add ht to the hatch when in the open position, but with the roof section attached will it not be more prone to leaking? Are the galley hinges you guys are using really water tight?

If your talking about the original grasshopper. The hatch is not attached to the roof at all. There is a space of about 4 to 6 inches down from the roof. I did the mini-hopper this same way. I also used a rain diverter and used a piano hinge. Have not had any leaks there but have had a few in other places. My fault.
