Does anyone know if the hull to deck join can cause water leakage under the port side seat in a traditional interior? I have a fair amount of water accumulating under the seat after a rain and have eliminated the windows, mast step & rigging thru deck fittings as a source.I'm going to try the dyed water approach but wondered if the deck join is a possible culprit.

George - I have/had a similar problem with my boat and traced it to either the toe rail or hull/deck joint. I replaced my rub-rail this summer and haven't seen the water since, but that doesn't mean I fixed the problem! The water wouldn't appear after every rain, only after some. Never could figure out why, maybe wind direction. So, I'm holding my breath after every rain and hoping the new rub rail fixed it. So far, so good.

If your rub rail is nasty and a little disfigured like mine was, you may want to replace it anyway. It's cheap and very easy. Best to do during warm weather.

Another possibility is the toe rail, which to me looks like a royal pain in the stern to re-bed. Hope that's not it!

Do you mean the genoa/sail track? The toe rail is a molded part of our deck. What little toe rail there is looks to me like it was intended to have teak 1 x1 put on but they never did.
