I am currently looking at purchasing a certain 77 29'' Pointin, Evelyn design and have found one problem.
It has been neglected for the past year or so, and in that time the waterproofing has come off of the six square inches of cabintop in front of the mast as it passes through on its way down to the keel, where it''s stepped. The wood under that proofing has rotted, and a large chunk of it has fallen away, leaving a four inch gaping hole straight down into the cabin below.
Is that hard to fix myself because of something I haven''t thought of? And I dont'' know if the cabintop is cored, but would that lead to saturation? It''s been sitting like this for some time - enough for the cabin to collect a good deal of water and sit with it for a winter, becoming a biology experiment gone awry.
Are there any potential hazards here? Is it repairable, or something to run away from?
