"... I would suggest checking the anchor locker and drain, the starboard chain plate & bulkhead, deck fittings and around the keel."
Thanks for the reply. When I bought the boat there was a significant leak at the starboard chain plate which I sealed up. It had been leaking there for some time as the wood inside the cabin in that area had discolored and had a very small amount of rot. What I don't undershand however is how the moisture could get into the hull via a chain plate leak. Is there a path from the bulkhead core to the core in the hull? I don't know how the construction process went, but I would think that the hull would be laid up and glassed, then the bulkhead attached. Anyone know how the bulkhead and hull are joined? TKS AC
