keep us posted on your findings. IMO this has become a largely non-issue when properly addressed annually during the entire life of each J/30 when we dig out last year's bedding compound and follow up with a fresh application of compound at the deck level turnbuckles. Each year @ launch time remove the deck plate, remove the old caulk, refill with new, rebed the cover plate.
