Have just finished building the standard Passagemaker (set up fpr rowing only) and am having trouble with small leaks between the bottom panel and Panel#1 and also between Panel #1 and #2. Have checked the filletting (and reenforced if necessary) but problem still persists. Any suggestions? Am thinking of adding fiberglass strips along panel joints and then ccoating with epoxy.

I had a good scare on one shakedown cruise until I realized the water I found in the boat came from bringing the wet oars inboard.
Perhaps turn the boat upside down in and get under it. Or darken a room, put a light directly in the upright boat and get under it. Can you see light coming through the hull?
