I think water intrusion under the varnish is something one deals with on a regular basis. This Fall right after hauling Muskrat in about a 2 week period all the wood under the varnish turned black on the inside and some what on the out side of the coamings. This all happened in the course of a few days. We had always had issues but this was crazy. We thought we'd have to bleach, stain, and maybe even paint (no!!!!) to remedy the looks, but when we used a heat gun the varnish obviously came off in sheets but the mahogany dried right out and came back to its correct red/brown color. Always thought once it turned black it was stained forever...
What do you all have for ventilation- we seem to have a lot of condensation in the sail lockers as well as leaks by the seat locker hinges. We have a single cowl vent over the lazarette. I hate to put any in the cockpit as that would allow water intrusion during one of those ugly moments we never want to have!
