Hi,
First of all, hello from the UK! I'm not sure but I may be the only forum member from this side of the Atlantic.
I bought a Sunfish late last year and have finally got around to working on her. I fitted an inspection port and found around 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. I used a sponge to get this out last week, but every morning I find a small puddle of water in the bottom. My question is this - is it likely that this water is just seeping from various places in the hull or could it be rainwater getting in from somewhere? This being Britain and August, it is raining nearly every day...
I've replaced and sealed the drain plug, sealed the coaming and I'm happy that the inspection port is water tight.
Thanks,
Nick
