The 1985 Beneateau 305 we are using from time to time has a wet starboard bunk in the forepeak apparently from rain. We've tried caulking the deck/hull and the forehatch without success. Suggestions? (Thanks)

I dealt with two leaks in my V berth area recently. One was the hull/deck joint, but not from rain water... It was a place where the caulk was gone, between the toe rail and the hull on the side of the boat, and waves were splashing up into the joing when underway. Had to renew the caulk. Other seems to have been be a leak in the Anchor locker, and yes this was a rain water leak. Cleaned our the locker, caulked any cracks I saw (and the drain hole), and solved the problem. First 285...

... this Beneteau had already been caulked under the toe rail where waves splash (as you suggested), but we haven't tried to caulk within chain locker. Thanks for the suggestion.
