I have had a sailboat for 24 years and never had
a bilge full of water. I wonder what could exactly be the cause
of this
water accumulation.

Rain leaks (duh)


Quite common for cockpit drains to block with leaves. On many
designs the cockpit then overflows down the the gangway . . .

Another possible source, especially in heavy rains, is rain going down
high tech masts with lots of internal penetrations for lines. I have
been warned about this with my J/100 in spite of my cover.
