Its taken 2 weeks from launch to move Challenger 100 yards to her home berth. I've had her looked at and nobody can see any problems. She has been out the water for 5 years so she will leak more as I sail her and stress her hull as it moves. Consensus of opinion is that she will not fully take up unless used. She will always leak compared to a carvel hull. But 2 mins of hand pumping after a sail is not a problem and as she is used she will tighten up even further.
