Ok so I went to the boat today to check on her.
As it was raining I noticed there was drips from the Houdini hatch and on the right side dripping onto the cushions.
I thought it might be condensation as the windows were a bit steamed but after wiping them it wasn't.
It was dripping on the right from under the lip near as the wall comes down.
I'm thinking the Houdini hatch isn't sealed right and the water is comming through there and leaking down to the right hand side between the laminate then finding a way out?
Does this sound sensible ?

Also I noticed there was a fair bit of bilge in the front locker and under the main floor could this have come from there .
Other than that roll on summer lol

I have a leak on my Houdini hatch also. I spoke to the manufacturers and they have told me to remove the hatch at the hinges, take off the hinges and re-seal in this area. They have assured me that it is extremely unlikely that it is the seal, unless you can see obvious damage on the seal.
I am just waiting for a nice sunny weekend and then will have a go.

Hope this helps
