Check the area around the centerboard tunnel, cracks can develop from groundings with centerboard down.
Good luck.

Water ballast leak
- Thread starter nopressure
- Start date
I sailed a 260 for a few years, never had any water leak issues. I've heard of others using a vacuum cleaner or leaf blower to pressurize the water tank on a boat and then soapy water to find leaks. Might be worth looking at. I don't think winter has anything to do with it, lots of these boat's up here in Canada without problems.
Good luck, Bob

Nopressure has my cell phone number and suggested he call so I can quiz him more in detail and will report back to the forum as usual. Regular Guy is also a good source to. wish he were in my backyard so I could go sailing with that rascal. We are here to help you.
My boat and I were in your front yard and we still didn't go sailing. Shoot, we were at SML and didn't go sailing. Shoot, @rgranger had his boat in the water there with us and we didn't go sailing!
Yes I know Kermit but remember, everytime I was on your boat or Rgranger's boat, I was working on them vs. sailing so the both of you could get on with your boats later in order to sail later. At SML, that was an all day affair and all three of us were tired and exhausted after working on the two boats.. When I was helping rgrganger last year, I had no idea as to why I was exhausted only to find a few weeks later 90% blockage to the widow maker artery requiring a stent.

Thank you Dave and Kermit. It's appreciated.
Thank you Dave and Kermit. It's appreciated.
this is common practice with RVs. Should work on boats just as well. Pressurize the cabin and start painting the boat with soapy water. What I have seen setup is an old furnace blower.
