Re: Stus-List Water Ingress ??

Ahmet, Half Magic, my 1975 25 Mk 1 always seems to have a small amount of bilge water, but as boldly as I can check, it always appears to be fresh water, which I suspect works its way through voids between the deck and hull, small cracks in the cockpit coaming or some other source. My boat

Re: Stus-List Landfall 35 Bow Assembly
