Hi David:
Panache has been on a mooring now since the day I owned her, 10 years
ago, and at a marina at the far end of the lake for another 10 years.
Think of it as a Fiberglas tub with no holes. How can intact
fibreglass possibly leak? The only time anything serious happened was
through my error, NOT the design of the boat. So concern yourself with
all the holes drilled through the fibreglass. Here is the list:
- rudder pintles.
- through hull fittings.
- anchor locker drain hole.
- trailer eye.
- the centre board mounting bolt holes (unlikely since they bottom
out in fibreglass).
- knot meter sensor.
Thoroughly check these BEFORE launch time. The Tech Tips cover all
these issues. If they are OK then any other water in the hull has to
come from rain leaking through the deck or from the water tank. Do your
work prior to launch time and sleep easy.
