We thought we had our Sunfish stored nice and dry, under a tin roof and with a SLO Sail and Canvas Spars-On-Deck cover. When I moved CHIP to get to the old floorboards underneath, I heard water slosh. Uh oh. We pulled the cover off and found that water rain water had blown into a gap in the cover at the stern and drained down into the cockpit, caused by the mast holding the cover up just a bit. The gap was our fault, I should have snugged the cover down a bit more. The cockpit was fine, we sponged out the water, but the floorboards warped and had mold. We cleaned everything up and will try to save the floorboards, right now we parked the dolly on top of them to flatten them back out. Stay tuned...
