Because I had the same issue - never a drop in the port side, but an increasing amount in the starboard until I really went looking for the reason. Post repair, both sides are dry as a bone after three Nationals, and the boat weight is still spot-on. I think the production problem was a starboard-hull-only thing.

I need to start talking about that boat in the past-tense, however. It is sold and a new one is on the way. There will be four Capricorns in SoCal for 2009, reflecting a continued growth in all the F18 designs in the US.
