Floor Removal & Sailability

[glennk]

I've got a small leak ( leaks) somewhere under the false floor of my boat and I plan to remove the false (plywood) floor near the end of this season and float/sail her to find the leaks and then patch them.

Ideally I'd like to sail her and not just float her as that will really let me see where the water is coming from.

Does anybody know if the hull is strong enough to sail without the false floor and not flex itself to death?

Anybody gone through this process before?

Thanks for your help and advice.

Hmm. I see you posted this twice.
Do you have a DSI or a DSII?

[glennk]

Actually I'm not entirely sure which my model is and so I thought I'd ask on both forums.

If you have wooden decking, I'd bet you have a DSI. you can take the floors out, most racers do.
Let us know where you find the leak, it would be interesting to hear.
