The last time I went to my boat, I had water in the bilge, Water on my port side counter, water on the port shelf behind the settee and water in the stowage lockers under the settee ( a lot!!! )
So I've been doing a bit of investigation as to when my boat is leaking.
I thougt maybe it was leaking when I was sailing, so last Saturday I drained the bilge. Pumped out the water from the settee lockers. The forward part of the bilge had a bit of water in it, so I left it.
Went for a 2 hr sail, came back and there was a bit of water in the bilge but the front part had drained it self and I figure it was just that.
I notice when my Fiance was washing it with a hose, water was coming in not from under the windows, but under the trim / flange (for lack of a better word) and it let in water it's entire length.
This is only on the port side, the starb side is fine.
Where could it be letting water in like that?

- The grab rails are loose and have a little green moss growing around where they attach to the deck
- The windows?
- I should also mention I tore a hole in the deck as a stanchoin was loose and there was a big of deck rot. I covered it with plastic and goop'd it temporarily.
