They look good but it has a balsa wood core if you get water in the core it will rot and you can count on that. Very week hull design the in side walls are structural and they are plywood with very few ribs watch (SAILING PARLAY) it shows how it made and it very poor
Nonsense. The idea balsa wood will rot is only true when you split the hull open over many feet and expose them to the elements -- which is what happens when you have boat that is totaled by a hurricane. Sailing Parlay are not experts and bought a total loss boat and then are surprised that the hurricane damaged it. Balsa core is the preferred core material, better than foam in most aspects though the perfect boat would use a combination.
@@RogerWilco1 You are wrong all fiber glass boats will flex and twist and water will get in and rot it out balsa suck water like a sponge and you know that
@@philipstreechon4523 False. Like I said, your understanding comes from nonsense you gave heard from non-experts. You don’t even seem to realize that what they call “balsa” is an engineered material, not the balsa plywood of the 1970s. The resins and methods are different as well. Problem is you hear dome illiterate tell these old wives takes and you decide you are an expert and repeat them, and you never learn from those who actually know what they are talking about.
