[C38] Bilge

[Max Soto]

Way to go Steve!! Congrats for the race. 
Haven't heard of that modification before, but it shouldn't be that hard. Were's your holding tank located?? Mine is under the settee against the head bulkhead. That could get In the way. 
  How much water do you usually have on your bilge?? I haven't experienced  a wet port cushion before. 
Regards,
Max

Per our string last Fall or Winter the cabin side of the wall common to the head is always wet under and behind the cushions.  I have assumed the cause was the chainplate or the leaky towrail.  But, as I tore the boat apart after last week's race (yes by the way, another First Place for Team C38!! (78th running of the Monhegan Race, 25h:38m)) I came to the realization that when healed to port (read: broached) the bilge water will flow to the low side and wet the cushions...which wick the water to the woodwork, etc., etc.
