Fixing Leaks

Assessment

Water is getting into the boat at different locations:

Starboard traveler. This is attached to the deck with 28 6mm stainless steel through bolts. At some point the deck had gotten a new anti slop coating, it appears that the travelers were not removed for that job. So it is basically 40 years old. There are some visible cracks in the gelcoat, but most water probably enters through the bolt holes. This is one of the reason for the electrical system being so bad. The water entering through the starboard traveller dripped on the electrical switchboard and electrical components.

Starboard traveller

This was the most urgent one since the water entering here dripped on the electrical components at the cart table. No point in starting with the electrics without having fixed the leaks first.

Starboard traveller partly broken off, cracks in the gelcoat. But water was entering along the whole length of the traveller, not just at the missing piece.
Traveler removed and holes covered with duct tape, waiting for a dry day and for chemicals.

Mast Boot

There is a big gap between the mast foot boot and the deck. Water is entering and running down at the inside along the kieled mast.

Instrument panels in Cockpit

Six holes where the instruments used to be.
