Hello Marci,

I can't give any advice on the leaks but welcome the the Catalina 38 fraternity and congratulations on your new toy.

We've just purchased a beauty: Checks in the Mail! I fell in love with her 3 years ago @ the marina where I used to slip my Bristol 33 (sold 1 1/2 years ago). Imagine my good fortune when I fell for one of the crew members and a year later, we're the new owners of Checks!

Now it's time to isolate some of the leaks: a few of the chain plates, the deadlights, a leaky spot underneath a newer fairlead track, and the boot around the mast where it goes into the cabin. 

I'm pretty concerned about the leak under the track--it oozes brown water down into the quarter berth--a sure sign of balsa damage, I'd imagine. I don't see any signs of delamination, however. I'm anticipating a lot of work and/some expense in this repair. 

Any recommendations?
