Sailaway - it does make sense to treat and seal the ply. Should I be surprised that this hasn't been done on a production boat (Jeanneau)?
I know that on aircraft wood is often left untreated due to weight (and weight & balance) considerations; but aircraft don't usually get subjected to salt water and permanently humid environments.
Are you talking about the 2-part epoxy resins used in fiberlass applications or is there some different compound for wood? Isn't a simple paint or even varnish sufficient? I'm not talking about structural components, just items such as the plywood used to form the base for berths & bunks or inside galley cupboards.
