Two questions, from our 2nd time sailing with our new TI. The weather was somewhat heavy - 12-15knot wind, 1m waves - but with the water of Lake Neuchâtel at 25degC and the sun shining, it wasn't too uncomfortable. In fact is was great fun.
As might be expected, the TI was often awash with water. What I didn't expect, at the end of the day, was the amount of water
within the boat. We had had all the hatches firmly locked shut the whole 8hrs of sailing, and yet there was a good 5cm or so of water throughout the inside of the boat. First question is:
1. Is it normal to take on this much water?
Within the boat there are a bunch of foam blocks of various sizes. After our day's sailing, the blocks were shifted all over the interior of the boat. I understand (from the in-hatch sticker) that these blocks are there for buoyancy, but (my 2nd question):
2. Is there a correct position for each of these foam blocks? (If so, is a map available for them?)
