Just when I thought it was clear sailing....
We hit a large submerged object at a pretty decent clip. We have hit a LOT of things as did the previous owner of the boat. The daggerboard smashed up into the rear of the opening where it slides into. I thought all was well. And then after we pulled her from the water, she leaked and leaked and leaked a river. You can actually HEAR water sloshing in the hull when you move her around.
I will take a pic in the morning. It is dark now.
I need to repair this, but I am worried I have to let it dry out for months as the KB info talks about. We live in a desert climate with temps reaching into the 100s by the afternoon. Will she dry in a couple of days? Without making more holes to allow more air in there?
Thanks for your help!
