Wanderer tiller

Re: Leaky bouyancy tanks
Thanks Mike and Douglas. I don't think it will be the deck cleat as that still wouldn't get into the bouyancy tank - just fill up the bottom of the hull. Mast base is a distinct possibility, any rain

Re: Leaky bouyancy tanks
Hi Jonathan Check the GRP under and around the mast step and check that the screws are a good fit. Any rain water collecting in this area can leak through directly to the buoyancy tank. Regards Mike

Re: Leaky bouyancy tanks
It is often worth looking up rather than down? You said that there was water ingress when it was raining. If you have a mooring cleat or any other fixing in the foredeck it is worth checking

Re: Leaky bouyancy tanks
Hi Jonathan, The front tank is connected to the side tanks - it is all one big tank. On mine there were cracks on the floor that were letting water through into the tank - especially on the port side

Re: Jib sheets stuck down the side of the mast
So this is the solution I went with in the end - P-clip one side and a hook the other. Seems to work OK so far, both fittings are low enough not to snag the jib sheets. Now I'm trying to decide

Re: Jib sheets stuck down the side of the mast
Hi Jonathan I usually sail with a mast chock set between the forward end of the mast and the foredeck. The chocks are T shaped and this acts as a barrier to the sheet. Your idea of elastic accord the
