Water in forward and stern buoyancy tanks

<< < (3/3)

Graham W:
The leak into my starboard forward buoyancy tank has been traced to the large mooring cleat on the starboard side of the foredeck - it was coming through where the base was secured to the deck. 

There were also small leaks coming through where the chainplates are fixed to the hull.  However, this was impossible to get to from the inside.  This has been remedied by cutting new inspection hatches so that the inboard side of the chainplates can be properly inspected in future.  Always a good idea from a safety point of view.
