[Rhodes22-list] Laz leakage another reply to Rory

[Mary Lou Troy]

What no rain on Sunday??!  We had a deluge at anchor in the Corsica 
R. off the Chester R. Guess it's maybe 20 - 30 miles away. One of the 
guys bailed 4 or 5 inches out of his dinghy the next morning.

BTW, we have gotten water in the laz when we've had the boat very bow 
up on the trailer. Not as much as you are describing and none now 
that we make sure the boat is level on the trailer. It's always dry 
in the slip. I forget the beginning of this discussion, but I assume 
you've checked to make sure the cockpit drains are clear.
