Cape Dory 10 construction help

Post by Ed Kelliher »

I have CD 10 # 1876 that was probably built in the late 1970's. The centerbosrd box has been leaking water into the area between the outer hull and the and the very narrow (2" to 10" wide), interior decking that runs the length of the centerline. This decking is getting soft and needs repair. Does anyone know how this area of the boat was built? Is the decking plywood covered with glass? Does the boat have a wood keel timber running the length of her centerline or is the outer hull all moulded glass in this area?
Any help would be appreciated.
