Block-off the vent hole at the very top of the front of the Cockpit Tub. (Look under the Mainsheet Hook and you'll find it.)?
Make sure that any Inspection Ports are tightly-closed.?
Remove the Drain Plug and then use and air compressor or even a good Bicycle Tire Pump to "blow-up" the hull. Don't overdo it if you are using a compressor!
Go around the boat and brush on soapy-water in the Mast-Step, Centerboard Trunk, Bailer, Rudder Bracket, Bow Handle and every other place where there is a hole in the Hull or Deck. Any air that is escaping will cause soap bubbles at the leak.?
Be sure to check any cracks in the Cockpit Tub. Check out the black crack on the righthand side of this photo: I just did a friend's boat yesterday and found that this crack was letting in a LOT of water. ANY water is too much.?
