We have stopped a lot of leaks on our Norman over the last year, however we have just found another one. Its on the outside where you walk around the boat, but must be so fine you can't see it. Once rubbed down is there anything you can coat it with before you paint it again. We are thinking off taking it out for a week, putting it in the shed at garstang for a week and sanding the whole boat down and repainting it. Any advise most welcome x

I doubt its the gunnel, check all the fender eyelets are sealed with butyl sealer. Windows are normally the culprit and could be the cause of water appearing to be the gunnel leaking. Don't use silicone sealer anywhere you will be wasting your time.
The other wise word I can offer is where the drip is does not mean the leak is there, it can track from quite far away.
