I have an 89 34,and I installed newinstument thru hulls in the bow.after th boat was in the water very often I would stick my hand down in the locker to see if it the thru hulls were laeking.after a few sails i did the test and was shocked to feel water there.iI checked and found a smal lhole in the bottom of the bulk head to drain any water to the bilge.water slossed from the bilg up to the hole and left a little water that did not completly drain

when I reef my main,I have a stop at the end of the slide track so they canot slid out when droping the sail,as all boats do but on my 34 and i guess all of them (mine is 89).because of the opening and stop the sail slides dont go all the way down to the boom.Iwas going to make two pieces of alluminuumto fill this opening and remove them when I take the sail off.any sugjestions?

I had the same problem on my aft cabin sole.and also started on the galley sole. I stripped with varnish remover,then with bleach/water scrubed many times on the bad part.I then used "teak wonder" cleaner/brightener from west marine.with that i followed the directions(very unusual for me)at least 4-5 times each time i set the sole out in the sun to dry each time and they came out really great. then 5 coats of polyurethane.good luck.also did the underside of each with the bleach treatment and the poly to seal
