Ship Show maintenance log Exterior wash and scrub complete. Sounded and poked down the deck and fittings to check for leaks. Justin serviced the Lewmar winches. Both now operating correctly. Removed the solar panel. Poor efficiency and a difficult mounting location, so it comes off permanently. Panel to be donated. Pulled the scuppers and cleared the scupper pipes, which were filled and fully clogged. Water now flows freely. Discovered that one of the cockpit drains routes into the sink. The pipe can be rerouted, deferred to next work session. Sail inventory organized and restowed. Leaks identified, two total: 1. Second stanchion, port side. Minor seep, needs sealing or a cover. 2. Middle port shroud chainplate. Primary source, taking on the most water. Priority for covering or rebedding. Open items for next session: reroute cockpit drain out of the sink, seal port stanchion, address middle port shroud chainplate, drop off solar panel for donation.
