Happy New Year Group
I'm looking for ideas on finding ballast leaks in a 1989 26D.
This was my first year sailing Misincline . After leaving her in the slip overnight, the dry storage areas became a bilge. It rain hard the night before so I pumped out the water and topped of the ballast. That night was dry. Returned in the AM and I had bilge again. I just left the water and sailed her for the season.
Has anyone had to fix this type of problem? Thanks in advance.
