Hi all. we have developed a rain in on our Norman 23. It appears to be on the port side at the bow, where the deck meets the cabin. It looks like there is a split in the gel coat, and some has peeled off. Does anyone know if there is a product out there that I can treat (paint) the whole of the deck area with to stop any further leaks occurring. Obviously, I am assuming that is where the leak is. Because there no other signs of cracking/peeling. People I've spoke to at our marina have told me horror stories of mysterious hard to find leaks. So something that would find and creep into virtually invisible cracks would be ideal.

Most normans have a double skin headlining and any leaks show up in the wrong place, more than likely coming from a window rubber/vent/handrail and getting through in the first weak spot between the two skins after running along in the gap, it's usually harder to find the actual leak point than it is to fix it.
