Check the adventures of Nutmeg for a blow by blow of this summers adventure. I did fight the same fuel leak all summer. I put a funnel under the fuel filter and caught the fuel in a bottle in the bilge. We also had trouble with the rudder stuffing box leaking. It leaked only when moving so we would get about a pint or two every 3 or 4 hours of motoring. We did purchase a new main sail from Bohndell Sails in Rockport. It is a loose footed main with the top two battens full and partial for the bottom ones. We also purchased a morring in Rockland harbor from Curtis Milton. Our friend Dale was instrumental in arranging the deal. we also got a deal on a pair of Stainless steel dorade vents which we promptly installed. Hauled out at Knights Marine on 9/9.
