Another great weekend of sailing La Petite but also a recurring water mystery.
We sailed down to King Harbor from Marina Del Rey, and then back to MDR, making for a wonderful 5+/- hours of first peaceful, then rail-in-the-water sailing.
Once again, we ended up with water in the bilge and under the bunks ... not good. Last weekend we attacked the starboard stanchion bases and rebedded them but we had not yet gotten to the port ones. It is my hope that having just done the port one will take care of the problem, but what if it doesn't ?
How does one re-seal a hull to deck joint if that's where the water is coming in ? Are the E23 deck joints known to be solid or a problem ? Are they glassed on the inside or just bolted or ... ?
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks,
