Hello .
I have spent a happy day cleaning and investigating my Winkle Brig , after she’s been standing for nearly two years . She’s been on a trailer , listing slightly to port and forward , hoping water would run away from the tabernacle, although covered with polythene too ..
No big surprise, some water has got in , port cabin cushions are wet and the port side trinket lockers in the cabin seats hold water . Bilge pump (although working) is dry , the intake hise is dry ... . So no water getting back there , even with bow raised .
There’s definitely water under the cabin floor though , I can hear it as the floor moves under my weight .... I opened one of the small bunged holes (under the porta potti) and there’s a 40mm (or so) hole in the foam, that fills with water ... (bow raised to aid draining to bilges at stern) . Empty that with a sponge and it refills very slowly ...
All seems a bit odd !! Seems like there’s water trapped on top of the foam ?!?! Under the floor ...
Forward end of cabin floor is fine , just aft end ...
Not sure if this is a problem or not really ?!?!? Wouldn’t like it to freeze though ...
Hoping someone might have come across this before .
Many Thanks
Rolly
