Seems to me that a lot of folks with "heavy hulls" that were sitting on dry land may have had water leak in around the bailer (especially if it was sitting on a trailer). Also some of my reading here and elsewhere covers water coming into the cockpit through the bailer. Not knowing or having a cap for the bailer I cautiously plugged mine with a wine bottle cork. Admittedly I haven't sailed my Sunfish that hard yet, but I haven't shipped hardly any water into the cockpit over the gunwales. So the question is, If you know you aren't going to be entering any "Class Racing" events, how stupid would removing the bailer and glassing over the bailing port be??
