The Deck
Cosmetically, the decks were
in pretty good condition, with more or less original
finishes. The deck structure is lightweight, and the
wider expanses flex when walked upon, but this is not an
indication of structural problems--simply of the lightweight
structural nature of the deck.
I would expect to find some
areas of water infiltration, but I didn't see anything
horribly serious in this regard. I observed a spot
beneath the deck under one of the cockpit coamings where
there was a black spot, as if an old fastener had leaked
through. (This photo can be found in the "Interior"
section).
There is a repair to a
large crack in the deck on the starboard side, running
roughly between the mast partners and the rail. The top
surface is patched with gelcoat (the hammer handle is
pointing to it in the applicable photo below), and beneath the deck
(photos of this part in the "Interior" section) a
reinforcement can be seen on that side. In addition,
the area around the mast partners is a little funky, with
part of the collar area seemingly ground down lower than the
surrounding deck; I'm not sure why this would be, or what
the situation is.
Depending on the design and
construction of the new cabin, though, all or part of this
area may be removed anyway, so I didn't see this as a big
problem.
The woodwork is fair, with
lots of Cetol finish applied.
Again, the photos here
mostly speak for themselves.
