After a 4 year restoration, having replaced all the hardware on deck and extensive refurbishment of the hull, I launched yesterday on a glorious sunny day for a trip around the harbour. All went well until at anchor 3 hours later I noticed 1/2 inch water in the bilge. The only 2 through hull fittings are the sink drain and triducer, both brand new and freshly sealed - definitely no leaks here. The centreboard post had been removed at cabin level, resealed around the base and remounted, so no leaks here either. Has anyone experienced any leaks through the centreboard post between the inner moulding of the cabin and the keel or through the keel bolts ??? How do you get to that area to reseal it ? I cannot work out where else the water is coming from. Any other ideas ? Thanks Jonathan
