You folks are probably gonna think I'm crazy with all the nit-picking little questions I keep coming up with about my recently acquired '73 sunfish. It's just that when I get into something new I want to know everything about it. I'm going over every inch of it to make sure I have a water-tight vessel when I finally take it out.
My latest question is about the bottom of the mast tube. Looking down the hole with a light, I see a circular indentation at the bottom that is about a half inch deep. I'm wondering, if the bottom of that indentation is actually the hull of the boat, is the bottom of the tube sealed so that water going down the mast tube can't get inside the boat?
I would think so, but I want to make sure. I assume the indentation is there so that the mast doesn't end up sitting in a pool of water at the bottom of the tube?
Thanks for all the help you've been giving. I really appreciate it.
