[Public-List] Water inside v-berth with too much heel

[crufone at comcast.net]

Is there anyway to drain this small sump or bilge forward of the water tank? Anyway to fashion a limber passage to drain the water? Otherwise that is a bit of a pain to keep the water out of the bunk drawers which are below the top of the water tank. I believe that the bottom of the tank is the hull?

My boat is #272 -  I have had some water in the drawers when 

1) I have overflowed the watertank when fillling 
2) I have washed down the forepeak chainlocker 

There is no drain to the bilge forward and water may spill into the 
drawers depending on heel and trim

I also have a 1965 A30 and on mine the chain locker only has a small 
sump forward of the water tank.  If it fills up it will overflow into 
the area below the the V-berth bunks and perhaps into the drawer area 
through the penetration for the fresh water suction hose.

Hello, I would like to know if someone has experienced water coming 
inside 
the drawers below the v berth. I have an A30 from year 65, hull number 
seventy something (I think, I used to know but lost the info). I have 
been 
sailing it in Chiloe that's in the south of Chile in South america. 
(Latitude 41.5 south). Well, if someone knows something about this I 
would 
really apprecciate it, thanks.
