Took on about 1/2 gallon of water over 20 minutes. Ready for air leak test. Taped over all of the holes except for the cockpit bulkhead vent hole. Then pumped low pressure low volume air into the hull through the vent hole, soaped the hull with soapy water and looked for bubbles. Bubbles indicated an air leak.
Found a leak on the chine during the air leak test. Also found a few small leaks on the keel and deck seam.
We put the boat on its side and soaped over the top and bottom of the daggerboard trunk. Pumped in air, no bubbling = no leaks.
Filled the mast step with water and it did not leak.
