[Public-List] 1975 bilge leak

[Chip Dance via Public-List]

No plywood liner on #456 either. 

I too recently cut out part of the bilge encapsulation as water was obviously passing through /around it.  I found some cement or sand under the glass. Was the steel ballast topped off with cement or sand? When I re-encapsulate the ballast,  should I be concerned about replacing any of that cement /sand? 

Thanks 
Chip #456

Sent using a stone tablet and chisel.

Candy Cane's also a 1975 (#583) and has no such floor in the bilge. My
hunch would be that it's a previous owner addition, and can be safely
removed.

Hope this helps,
Kris
