Hi. I am looking at a 38ft sailboat that was built in 2006 by the previous owner and I don't know if the hull construction is something that I should be concerned about. I would appreciate any comments on what the owner told me about how the boat was built:
The first layer of the cold mold is 1/8inch mahogany ply, followed by 4 layers of specially milled Western Red Cedar. Plans specifications were for only 3 layers of cedar. The cedar was milled by the Dean Company in Coos Bay, Oregon. The hull and deck were then covered with 2 layers of 6oz fiberglass cloth and System Three Epoxy (Seattle, Washington). The horizontal stringers were made from laminated old growth fir, 10 stringers on each side. The hull has sprayed in foam insulation to keep you cool in the tropics and warm in northern waters.
Thanks
