I think you have identified the problem. Before removing the cap rail (big job), scrape any old caulking from both the inside and outside joint and carefully re-caulk. Then go sailing again to see if the leak has stopped (or at least slowed down).

> While out in conditions today that had my A30 heeled over, although not enough to bury the rail, I noticed a build up of water in the bilge. Looking closer, while underway, I could see a steady trickle of water running down the leeward side of the bilge slightly behind the engine. When back at the slip in calm conditions, the trickle disappeared. I'm wondering if the cap rail is the culprit and may need to be rebedded. Any advice would be much appreciated.
