Check for leaks from windows and fittings. Also check for water coming in from the companionway. I recently discovered water leaking under the companionway boards -- too much stuff in the bow of the boat. Also check for water coming in from the transom area, such as from the exhaust fitting. John

Over all very good condition, new head sail, low hours on the Universal, and very clean. I am perplexed by how 3 fingers of water gets into the bilge within 24 hours. My stuffing box is barely dripping and thru hulls are closed... Any thoughts? Also, If were to purchase a new main sail, what is the recommendation for cloth weight, batons and price and where to purchase?
