[quote=MN3]like anycat, they can develop anywhere.. but the usual suspects are
centerboard wells are usually where they leak. this is because its the hardest place to access.. leaks know this and hide in there.
If you don't take on water in light air, its very possible your water is from above the waterline.
i would check:
ports in your decks
tracks that hold your tramp and jib adjusters
leaks around the beams
there are a few ways to check...
GENTLY add some compressed air to an open drain plug and use soapy water to find leaks (will bubble up). IF YOU ADD TO MUCH AIR... YOU CAN DO DAMAGE. when i do this, i open a deck port a little and spread some soapy water there so i can monitor the air pressure (by looking at the bubbles)
you can also fill your hulls up with water (not more than 20%) and look for leaks (may require tipping the cat aft and forward to get water past the rocker (curve of the hull)[/quote]
