[Paddlewise] P&H Capella Leakage

Good evening,

I am getting some leakage in the rear compartment of my fiberglass P&H
Capella.  It is a new boat that I am doing wet exits with in the pool.
After three wet exits I have about 1 1/2 inches of water in the rear
compartment.

This is the second fiberglass Capella that I have tried.  The first one
leaked at the back wall in the rear compartment.  The dealer replaced it.  I
have yet to determine where the second boat is leaking.

While taking classes and trying other boats I have not noticed this much
leakage in other brands and models.

Any suggestions or input?  Should I expect this much water after rolling a
couple times?  P&H talks of their hatches been "air tight" when they ship.
I really like this boat and I bought it because it is suppose to be one of
the best on the market.  I would appreciate any advice?

Regards,

Jim Fitzgerald
