Known problems for this model

• Cored deck - check around hardware deck
  Decks are cored (Practical Sailor describes end-grain balsa with plywood under hardware; a SpinSheet surveyor described plywood core), so moisture-meter the deck around stanchions and fittings.

• External 304 stainless chainplates rigging
  Chainplates are bolted outside the hull so they are easy to inspect, but they are type 304 stainless; inspect for crevice corrosion at the deck and bolt holes on older boats.

• Aluminum fuel tank in the bilge corrodes fuel
  A surveyor reviewing the 37 notes Pacific Seacraft placed aluminum fuel tanks low in the bilge where standing bilge water can corrode them quickly; check tank condition and access.
