This is the second video in the series for a failed core. This boat had a lot of failed core and an unusual mix of two different cores during it's original construction.

We used plywood as our core for two reasons:
1) we were removing a deck hatch and making it a regular piece of deck again.
2) there were already 2 different cores in the boat (and plywood was available on short notice)

We have done core repairs with balsa and various foam cores. Feel free to reach out if you have a question.

Unfortunately the boat was knocked over in a hurricane and stripped before we could get back to it. The boatyard forgot to mention that the boat had been knocked over and forgot to protect it. It was stripped to a point that it was not worth saving. Sails, halyards, sheets, cushions, tools, epoxy, glass, anchors and and and.

We will complete another deck restoration in the near future and will finish the video series and possibly even use other cores. Stay tuned and feel fre to reach out with any questions.

And as always; enjoy your boat!
