If you haven't seen a problem, you likely don't have a boat that was affected - mine was an early 2006, boat number 70. At the time I noticed the problem, I was lucky enough to have Greg Goodall standing next to the boat. He seemed surprised at the leak and before you could say "boo," he was under the boat to see what was going on. There was the normal mayhem going on as people were arriving and rigging all around us (this was at the 2006 US Nationals at Lake Carlyle), and there was Greg with a drill, a file and a cup of epoxy, on his back in the grass, humming a tune while he fixed it. Cracked me up and impressed me at the same time.

Sometime in the months after that, I guess the issue'd shown up in enough boats that they had run the problem down, or maybe he already had a good idea of what to look for by the time I ran into him. In any case, I overheard him having a conversation last year about it. I didn't think to ask when it was fixed. You could drop a note to him at http://www.ahpc.com.au - I've found him to be quite candid and open to discuss every facet of the business.
