Re: Rainwater leak

I've got a 920, so my suggestion might not apply. However, I also have a rain leak that comes through the timber bulkhead, but in my case centrally adjacent to the trunk that carries the lines down to the centreboard. If you are on your boat when it is raining hard, there is a veritable waterfall a...

Hello--I'm the happy new owner of a 920 that does not have any bilge pumps installed.

Stress cracks on ama hulls near backstay chainplates

Hello--New to the furom and have a question about a Dragonfly 920 that I'm looking at potentially making an offer on. I noticed that on the aft inside hull of each ama, near the backstay chainplate, there is a series of vertical stress cracks in the paint (looks like newer awlgrip) that run from the...
