Cherri, You have discovered the only flaw in the M15 :) The good news is that you have good boat speed! (motoring?) The most common solutions are: - ignore it but keep your feet out of the water - take a celluloid sponge 4" x6" and cut it in half and stuff a piece of wet sponge under each side of the teak pennant guide. - get wet feet The prolem with the sponge is that you do not have a cockpit drain until the water is over the top of the pennant guide. I sail with wet feet and use cheap sea boots in cold weather. Doug --- Mark Pavuk <mcpavuk@worldnet.att.net> wrote:
Is it normal to have water entering the cockpit from the drain? We sailed today and had a wonderful time - the only problem was a bit of water getting splashed up and getting our feet and the main sheet wet. I assumed self-bailing was a one way street somehow. Are we missing something? Cherri, M-15 # 322
