That is always scary, the sing feeling. (pun intended) . I had that once on my Catalina 36. First sail of the season, sailing hard off and away from the harbor, suddenly a lot of water. We immediately turned around, 10 miles from shore. While my wife was steeriing, I investigated the problem. It turns out that the galley sink hose had come off. It is draining directly below. The hose fell over so the open tip was below waterline. Just closed the thruhull Since then I make sure to close the galley drain thruhll when I am sailing. On the Irwin 43, the sink will fill up if I heel hard to starboard. Ahmet On Dec 14, 2015 8:38 PM, "Daniel Sheer via CnC-List" <[email protected]> wrote:
