We have leakage from the starboard side somewhere that we notice after sailing and starboard heeling. Doesn't appear to be coming from the aft window, and he re-caulked that, recently, anyway. Could it be coming from the rubrail, maybe? Any other thoughts? Thinking of caulking the underside of the rubrail. Only the starboard edge of the bed ends up wet, an hour or so after we sailed, and theres small leakage onto the galley floor as well from that edge. Any thoughts are appreciated. There is no leakage with rain or any other times, and we can not see any water leaking down the starboard wall in the aft berth.

Can't say for sure, but lots of owners have complained of rub rail leaks in that area. We're actually toying with the idea of removing the rub rail and screws and glassing over the hull to deck joint, then putting everything back together. An idea we've read about is making a temporary companionway drop board out of a piece of plywood with a hole it in, insert a shop vac or leaf blower, pressurize the boat, and then use soapy water on the deck fittings and rubrail to find where the leak is.
This is exactly the processs that Hunter Marine uses to check for leaks at the factory.......
