Hello fellow M-boaters and list cruisers, I have some new photos and captions posted to the M-23 web site. They show the stripped out hull on the port side where the water damage was from years of leaking. I found one of the cleats on deck leaking as well and what may have been a leak from the hatch slide. It is instructive to sit in your cabin on a rainy day! I pulled the hatch slide as they are being replaced this winter. Also slated for replacement are a bunch of slats and the shelf that were all damaged by a leak that came with the boat and must have been active for many many years. Of course, first the root cause of the leak must be repaired via the resealing of the hull to deck joint! All deferred until March. If you have time to kill you can look at the most recent additions at https://picasaweb.google.com/110938325409185510143/M23. Any suggestions on reconstruction will as always be welcomed!
Thanks Robbin M-10 and M-23
