I have a leak the runs down the starboard side wall in aft cabin.Fresh water runs down while boat is on a port tack.It must be accumulating somewhere and then runs down when I am on the tack.Any ideas where it originates and HOW TO STOP IT??? Anyone I ask for help tells me they have NO idea.Thank you,

Check your mast wiring

When your mast leaks through the wiring tube, the water will sometime stay in the area of the coach roof around the mast until you go sailing. Then it has the oportunity to run somewhere else. At least this is where my leak inside the cabin was coming from.

Aft cabin fresh water leak

We found that if the deck shower faucets are left on and the shower head used to turn off the water the movement of the boat can cause the showerhead to leak water which drips down the locker to the floor which extends forward to form the bunk. THe water seeps under the aft bulkhead at its junction with the hull.
