[Rhodes22-list] Lazarett Leakage Mystery

[jbconnolly at comcast.net]

I had to sponge some water out of the laz prior to covering the boat a few weeks ago.  I think it was due to some very heavy rain we have had  The boat was pitched up a bit on the trailer,and it seemed to me that the aft drains on the seats were just overtaken by the volume, and it would be pretty easy for the level to get above the lip of the hatch.
