[C38] mast leaks lots into bilge

[Don Strong]

Larry: We've owned Discreet Charm for 20 years. Every winter it rains in 
San Francisco, and the rain courses down the mast, which has a hole just 
above the cabin sole. I drilled a hole through the floor, and the water 
drains into the bilge. Once in 20 years, this year, we had a deluge that 
overwhelmed my 2 house batteries with the result of 4 inches of water 
above the sole. Plugged in the boat, and the bilge pumps emptied it in 5 
minutes. Life is tough when your'e having fun.

Varma hälsningar, Don
