Hi Mark Did you figure out where the water is coming from? We seem to be having exactly the same problem. During the deck restore the seeps we used to experience occasionally during rainstorms were fixed. Now we sometimes find water in the settee lockers during/after sailing. it stays there as there is no connection to the bilge (which has occasionally some water in it but nothing to worry about.) I crawled around inside the boat trying to find any seeps while underway and found nothing along rails.
Any ideas? Is there a schematic available that shows how the settee lockers are connected to the rest of the boat? Did you drill drainage holes so the water can drain into the bilge?

When it rains no water accumulates, but when we go for a sail there will be a small amount of water in each bin. After I dry it out, it stays dry until we go for a sail. What I'm thinking is there is a leak in the seal in between the topsides and the hull seam, and sea spray forces its way into the hull on the down wind side. I was thinking that I need to tighten the bolts along the toe rail that hold the topsides to the hull. I've read online that you hold the screw steady on top and turn the bolt underneath. I believe there is butyl tape in between the hull and the topsides. I was thinking of giving each bolt a 1/4 turn. Is my thinking on this correct? Thanks a lot for your help. Mark McMenamy C&C 25 "
