[Alberg30] Water in settee lockers

[Charles B. Currier]

On 458 I had discovered this problem (Swimming Pools full) and realized
that if you use caulking like 5200 around the chain plates port &
Starboard this will most likely take care of it.  Also be sure if you do
use 5200 to replace every year or 2. This did the trick for me, though I
also soured around the deck to be sure that I filled all the holes .

> After heavy rains or prolonged sailing with water and spray on the rail

> would like to figure out if it could be fixed to drain into the bilge
> rather than collecting until sponged out of the locker.
