One better: lay a length (two feet?) of line (3/8 or so) in the low spot and
hang about a foot of it through one of the toe rail holes and over the side. It
will wick the water out even better than a sponge.

Cram a small sponge through the toerail where the water pools, it will wick
it overboard pretty quickly and you won't be drilling a bunch more holes in
your boat.

Shedding of surface water on boats is a design element that is predicated
on the boat rolling, rocking and pitching. When that movement stops, there are
usually problems. In the days of wooden boats, being on land caused greatly
accelerated deterioration. This is exactly why many people cover their boats
with a frame and tarp while on the hard. Covered boats age much slower.

Hi all, I have a question on boat stands and aft tilting of the boat
while on the hard.
I find water drainage on most C&C designs to be horrible. I’ve tackled
the issues many times but this one keeps coming back to haunt me.
When the boat is in water, a while back I made drain holes at what
appeared to be the lowest point on deck. So when boat is properly loaded and
equipped, the deck drains pretty good.
Well all that changes once the boat is out of the water as the yard props
it so that everything is tilting aft. So now water collects about few feet
further aft. Year after year this tilting changes based on how they setup the
stands at the time of haulout. No matter what you do (I’ve drilled pilot holes
in aluminum toerail), I always have submerged pulpit stanchions bases. For
me these carry a significant load(solar panels, support the wind generator and
15HP outboard on pulpit mount) Well in the winter, ice works the base screws
on stanchions and before you know it you get leaks and wet core.
I would love to prop the aft stands and lower the forward ones so that
the boats sits more level and the water collects where my drain holes are. Has
anyone done this or will doing this disturb how the keel sits on the wooden
blocks?
My thought was to just prop the aft ones but then I realized that they
all need to be adjusted slightly.
