Hi everyone,
I may have posted here last year, but couldn't find my account. So either here I am again, or not.
Purchased a H23 3 years ago, taught myself to sail it on out lake here, and love it.
Have a few questions for you hunter owners out there.
1. Cabin Sole (I think its the Sole) water. The first 2 summers I had the boat, I don't recall any water under the wooden floor plates that cover the keel bolts. This summer (boat just went into the water last week), there is water in there. It's NOT coming from the keel bolts. its weeping in from the little holes that connect the 3 compartments together. There is not water anywhere else in the cabin. not is the anchor locker, not under the benches, not in the compartment in the vberth. Its not much water, but its water...
Thoughts?
2. Is there any magic number as to how low the boom sits? If I set the boom so it clears my head when sitting (i'm 5'9"), there seems to be a lot of "flop" sorry, I don't know the technical term, on the leech of the main sail. I can lower the topping lift so its tighter, but the boom hangs so low, that its dangerous.
As far as I know, its the orig mast, boom, and sail. The forestay is as tight as it can be, and the mast sits proper.
I know a pic is worth a thousand words, so here are a few.
thanks in advance. Love the forum.
