WoolpunkThe last two times I’ve been sailing in strong winds there has been lots of water on the floor inside the boat. Fresh water with an “old smell”. I’ve just wiped it up and gone on with my trips in both cases because a freshwater leaks isn’t the end of the world. There aren’t that much fresh water aboard to make the boat capsize.
Today, however, I cleaned out under the pantry sink. First I found lots of mold, and under the mold there was five litres of the same, old smelling fresh water. Turns out the sink outlet is leaking just under the sink! I’ve had an unintended grey water tank in my bot for ages!
So I got all the water out, and next the whole area is due for a proper chlorine cleaning.
