subject:Water intrusion under V-berth compartment
I've recently got this boat. It's Mark II (1980 yr) and in a very good shape. I've sailed her couple of times already and it sails just perfect. However, there is an issue I have with water intrusion. It is under v-berth compartment and first time I took out about 5 gallons (looks like I got this boat with that water). It was dry when I launched her again (once I dried it out), but let's say within approximately 8-9 hrs it took about a liter of water again.I've seen a discussion(s) on this issue here (in one of archives) with references to condensation within compartment (definitely not my issue), thoughts about cracks, notes that it happened in different boats, but not too much on ideas about causes and cases but the most important repairs done in different cases.
Question: Please share your knowledge and your experience before I demolish my boat (joking) while trying to find something.
