Thanks for the info, I did a bit more excavation in that area today and what I am seeing pretty well matches what you have described.
Yes, the plywood has some issues but mostly OK, I am thinking that I can make it good for another season and next winter have the mast removed at haul-out time in the fall and next spring do a complete repair.
Think that water may have entered where the wiring goes through the deck. No deck fittings in that location.

Doing balsa core repair in vicinity of mast. Rotted core found very close to mast support. Am concerned about the condition of the structure directly under the support. Presuming the balsa core does not go under the mast support, what is there?
No signs of weakness or flexing of mast support. What is chance there are hidden rot issues?
Unfortunately boat is on the hard with mast in place so difficult to investigate this situation.

I am working on replacing my "Rule" bilge pump. The old one was also a Rule, virtually identical. It was mounted by using short screws in the flat bottom of the bilge. Presumably this is no problem because it is heavily reinforced. However, there are some wire clamps along the side of the bilge 2 of which are also attached with short screws.
My question is. how deep can you go on the bilge side wall without creating a problem for yourself?

I have the windward sheeting Harken on a 27 III and have used it for several years, it holds up very well.
Awhile ago I saw a post from David W. (Towser) saying he did not like it, but I don't recall if he said why. Perhaps he might comment.

David,
I got an autoreply message that you had posted a response to my Forum note but I got no PDF.
Perhaps Comcast is filtering this out.
You might try my office e mail <tomgr at Hazelett dot com>.

Just mailed in my renewal after letting it lapse for a bit. Planning to tidy up my wiring and this would be a big help.
