I own a 16 foot marine plywood sailing dory. I have tried to fix the
leaks on the seams of the boat with Life Caulk but after a season or
two I am back to bailing as much as I am sailing. Are there any other
inexpensive do it yourself options for my boat? The boat is on a
trailer so she is easy to work on. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Thanks!


In my younger days when almost all boats still had wooden hulls, early
spring weekends EVERY YEAR were spent replacing any rotten wood,
caulking, sanding and varnishing. That's just what it took to maintain a
wooden boat and the reason few people want to own wooden boats any more.
