Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the USA

EP-38 Fixing Leaky Windows on Sailboat Paradox


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to the Sailing the East podcast.  This is our podcast about sailing and cruising the East coast of the United States.   In some episodes we will focus on passages and destinations, in other episodes, we will talk about boats, equipment, and techniques, and when we come across an interesting person, we will try to get them as a guest on the show.

Today we’re are going to talk about leaky windows on S/V Paradox, a 2009 Hunter 45 DS.

If it is one thing that bugs me, it’s having water dripping into one of the cabins in my boat.  Deck leaks drive me nuts and I am always chasing them down. It seems like every boat has them, including “production” boats and “custom” ones as well.

In this episode, I re-seal the 4 large, frameless windows on Paradox.  It took the better part of a day and the following week the windows got a real test from Hurricane Henri. No Leaks!  The bilge has been dry ever since.

Thanks for listening!  We will be spending most of the summer sailing around Narragansett Bay, Long Island Sound, and Buzzards Bay.  Hope to see you out on the water.

If you know someone that would be an interesting guest on the show, please reach out to us and let us know.
