Hey Everyone,
Good morning! Seeing as it has been a while since I've been active here on SBO, it'll be interesting to see if there are any new members getting involved in this splendid little community! Also, upon the subject of boat "things", there are some issues I've come across with my own, and would like to see what some of you have to say about it.
Now, I've been sailing for most of my 20 years on this Earth (since I was 4), and never seen water leaking in from the corner where the deck meets the topside. I've not had the time to really dig in and take a look, but I'm afraid the hull-deck joint is either rotting away, or needs to be resealed. The leakage isn't massive. Only a very small streak of water runs down the inside of the cabin wall when the boat is heeled over in either direction (one leak on port side beneath one of the windows, I made sure it wasn't the window; one leak on the starboard side aft the settee). If anyone has any idea what the issue could be, it'd be great to hear them!
God Bless,
S.S.
