I attach four images of soft spots I found on the starboard bulkhead and scraped out today. The images are (from left to right) top cabin-side, bottom cabin-side, top head-side, and bottom head-side.
The remaining wood feels solid enough. The chainplate still seems to be attached solidly.
My questions are:
a) I assume it's probably safe to sail until season-end
b) Does past experiences provide any clues to the probable source of the water
c) How does one effect a permanent repair (there seems to be some rubber gasket material between the wood and the fibreglass)
Any insights and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
