Hi Dwight, 
I keep the cutouts from any hole I've made in the boat over the last 12 years. 
I've added instruments, cut in vents on my transom, hole for shore power 
electrical, replaced the core around the mast collar, I cut a hole in the solid 
hull between the cove stripe and the toe rail for a bilge pump exit. Whenever I 
mount fittings w say 1/4" bolts, I overdrill w 1/2" drill, scrape out the balsa 
core and epoxy the hole solid, then redrill the right sized hole. I added 
grabrails to the fiberglass sprayhood. I upgraded my speedo and depth sensors 
and found the glass in that area to be solid and 3/4" thick. I added 4 solar 
fans which need a 4" hole thru the deck. 

So I have samples of the cockpit walls and transom and hull, and several deck 
areas.

Chuck, 
why do you have these samples...what happened...I can't imagine you cut out 
samples just to learn the thickness

FWIW, the balsa on my 1990 34R is 3/4" thick on deck and the hull. All vertical 
walls of cockpit and coachroof and transom are solid laminate, w no core. The 
fiberglass unit that covers the companionway slides and moonroof has 3/8" 
balsa. I have samples from these areas.

On Calypso, built in 1970 at Bruckmann's, the deck balsa is nominally 1/2". 
When replacing failed balsa I have been purchasing 1/2" then sanding it down a 
little to leave room for epoxy and filler and the new epoxy/glass laminations. 



If you remove a fastener in the general area of the deck you would be able to 
verify that C&C did not use different thicknesses in newer designs/builds.

Petar; 



If I recall correctly, it is about 3/8” – perhaps ½”

Does anyone know what the thickness of balsa core is along the geona track 
section of deck on 1976 C&C 38 Mk2
