Lloyd, are the Dorade vents on your 39 the typical C&C the long molded in boxes
or a separate box mounted on the deck? THanks

John, o had a similar leak on my LG 39. It turned out to be a hatch on the
deck. The previous owner had put a container in a cabinet to catch the water.

Hey Listers,
Our 36-1 has had mystery leak since we owned her, and it only shows up in heavy
rain. On the port side main cabin water is coming down the enclosed molded
ceiling headliner that butts against the forward teak bulkhead just forward of
the chainplates. It is a completely in accessible so short of starting to cut
apart the ceiling I cannot find the source. So far, I have:
- Removed and rebedded the chainplates, though it is not coming from that
area it is above and forward.
- New handrails and re-cored deck where wet. Have access to all fasteners
and they are dry.
- Removed all winches etc around mast area, ran all lines back and redid
decks.
- Rebedded mast collar where it meets the deck.
- Resealed around the bulkhead stainless tang that has the small stainless
plate on deck.
So, my only two intrusions that are in that area are the mast itself and the
above mentioned stainless tab. Somehow water finds a pathway in the enclosed
ceiling and dumps right into the port side shelf. If my wife happens to be
sleeping in that berth at the time you can guess what happens next. With all
the heavy rain last year it was constantly wet.
What I have not done is to add more sealant to the deck fasteners that hold the
mast collar in, but they look well sealed. I think I am going to remove the
tang plate completely and redo that. Will double up on the mast bedding at the
deck seam and the fasteners. Any suggestions are welcomed!
