Why Is Our Rudder Post Leaking & Knocking? | Sailboat Story 211

The rudder post on our Westsail 42 is leaking and knocking... but WHY? In this video Mike comes out help Ben out with boat projects. Together they complete a whole slew of projects, many of which were not shown in this video, but overall it was an extraordinarily productive trip. Mike and Ben disassemble the rudder from inside the boat and try to determine why water is coming in and also how they can stop the rudder shaft from knocking on the fiberglass tube. ~ Ben, Tambi, & Molly | "SAILBOATSTORY" Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and join us every FRIDAY for a new episode!
