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. Chuck Resolute 1990

Read somewhere to add a bronze tee to the thruhull. This allows you to easily check or clear a blockage while cruising and easily winterize the engine, in or out of the water. I keep a bronze plug screwed into top port except for winterizing. I have a short maybe 4' length of 3/4" hose w a ball

FWIW, I prefer the simple bronze tee plugged on top, and the engine hose attached to an ell off the middle port. This provides the most options. I can close the valve, remove the plug and open the valve to check for flow or clear any blockage using a spoon handle. Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34

Have you priced electric winches? You may need dedicated batteries for those, too? Self tailers are less money. Not sure about winch rites? Smaller jib for shorthanded sailing may be wiser. Also, try to head upwind more during a tack to get the sail sheeted in without the winch handle. Remove
