CD 28 Sailboat COMPANION WAY STEPS

Post by Pete »

Hello again:

2) Did not notice this development until rainy season got under
way: Water is somehow making way from the OUTSIDE of boat, through the joints in the varnished wood trim lining the
companion way, under the sliding hatch, such that it
seeps out at each overhead corner INSIDE the
boat, reaches critical mass, and then drops onto the innermost corner of the starboard and portside settees.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did you just add another
coat of varnish, trying to fill in the space between the joints, somehow inject a sealant between the joints in the
wood pieces where they come together to form the corners,
or have to take apart everything?

Any feedback appreciated
