<p>Interesting idea, John. I actually followed Paddy's advice and got the sealant gun out, around the bulkhead between the anchor locker and the forepeaks. I also discovered, after removing the chain and warp, that the anchor locker drain was partially blocked by a small stone. We need a drain as the locker is not sealed from above and would otherwise fill with rain (or sea) water. We have had 'green aboard' on many occasions since, and I am pleased to say that there has been no evidence of…</p>

<p>Just had a similar experience, in my Cascade 36 going to Hawaii. I lay up in the for-peak, for about a half hour, and noticed that when the boat plunged into a wave, at certain angles, water would come in thru the anchor locker drain. When the boat then rose up again, the water was unable to run back out. So, I cut off a piece of dowel, and hammered the tapered end into the drain hole; voila, stopped it.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>If you have a anchor locker, check the drain and the hose that connects to the hull from the drain. also check the hawser.</p>
<p>Maybe check the deck and hull seam at the bow. If your have a small gap that opens as the boat plows into a wave,</p>
<p>the water pressure can force water in when the stressed area opens up. </p>

<p>Has to be the anchor locker , check it out carefully and reseal or galls up the seams again</p>
