Water intrusion

(1/2) > >>

JVS:
It seems, when I'm heeled over to the point my toe cap is in the water, I'm getting water inside soaking clothing and other stuff.  Anyone out there have a similar problem? Any suggestions?

vikinglish:
There must a specific place that you notice the water coming in?? Does it happen heeled both to port and starboard? Never had a drop in from anywhere apart from chainplate deck fittings which were solved easily.

JVS:
It seems to be coming in midship, but when the boat is healed over I'm behind the helm.

I think I'll have to remove the teak toe cap and see what I find,,  Maybe next year!

Ricd:
I had a leak on port toe rail and was collecting rain water in bilges.  Traced it with hose pipe to toe rail screw threads.  Extracted about 10 by 1cm and re-tightened them with a blob of clear silicone...perfectly dry now for two seasons.  Might also be source of your leak when healed

Monique:
I have ports along the mid hull area.  Check the seal and their tightness.... now checked religiously before sailing

I also had a loose water tank cap and it leaked lots of water when heeled.
