Cracks in Deck At Mast Base
Well, that was depressing.
I just got back from a quick stop by the marina to check on the boat. Too cold to take the wife sailing and not enough time to get any real work done. In the process of the inspection I found, to my utter horror, two wet spots the size of my thumb soaking through the headliner just to the starboard side of the socket that holds the compression post.
As you might imagine, I’m moderately horrified. Is the coachroof of the Potter-19 solid fiberglass there, or is it cored? There are some cracks in the deck above that I was hoping were cosmetic, but I fear are not. I will be taking the hi-rez camera out there tomorrow to take some pictures for you and start the diagnostic process.
We’ve had a LOT of rain lately, both of the light-but-steady variety and the buckets-from-the-sky variety.
I had about two inches of standing water in the bilges and there was condensation dripping off of other parts of the interior.
Can you give me any insight?

"It ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of sailing is? Love. You take a boat in to sea that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her afloat when she oughtta founder... tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens… makes her a home." Captain Malcom Reynolds, Paraphrased
