Please can somebody explain me how there are built .Can water go between the inner moulding and the outer one,and what happen if some amount of water is trapped between them. How is the inner hull bonded to the outer one in the bilge .Thanks for your help
 

It wasn't just me thinking that then :)

There is probably a cheap one knocking around and people want to know what's wrong with it.

No, it is Youen's hobby to ask the same question about any number of different models of boats, but one at a time. he has been doing that for about 2 or 3 years now.

Its what floats his boat.

...well, you get the picture.
 
I am not a broker

I try only to find a boat between 34 and 38 feet well built and its not an easy thing.I just cruise but want a quick enough boat easy to sail by 2 people.
 
Well you have found it. There are no issues with Starlight 35 or 39's. They are a fantastic boat and if you don't buy one you won't know what you are missing. You are better off getting a Mark2 (Bowman built) but they are much more expensive and you can tell because the interior is completely finished in wood see the galley shots.

This is an early boat with a laminate door on the end of the island

This is a newer boat with the all wood finish.

I assume they are built in exactly the same way as the Sadler 34. The inner and outer mouldings have foam blown between them, forming a very rigid and impermeable foam layer. The foam is closed-cell, engineering grade. Water is not absorbed by this type. Water does not get between the layers, but it is not a good idea to drill holes in the bilge areas without sealing any fittings properly. My Sadler 34 is 25 years old: the foam between the skins is perfectly dry.
