Hi, I seem to have a leak. I have completed the air and soap test - still can't find the leak. The amount of water is relatively small and seems to depend on the strength of the wind, I have really only tested this theory once and it may be a coincidence - a couple of tablespoons in the light and about a cup in about 15 knots.
Does anyone have any info on where the most common leaks occur. I think that it might be in the centreboard case, near the top where the case is joind onto the hull. If I push the sides of the case it flexes a little bit, however no air seems to come out of there. I thought that under pressure from the centreboard water might enter through there.
Any help would be much appreciated. The boat is a 171 no.
