[Rhodes22-list] Laz leakage another reply to Rory

[David Bradley]

Rory, my boat also sits slightly bow down and water collects in the seat
channels at the front of the cockpit.  I had only a spongefull of water in
the laz after a winter of pretty severe rain.

It would have to be some prettty slick weather stripping work to really make
it waterproof if standing water were running over the lip, eh?
