[C320-list] LEAKS

[Steve Magennis]

Actually, Jon, Catalina does use balsa coring on our boats.  Although
the hull is solid laminate, the deck is balsa cored except under where
things are mounted (e.g winches, cheek blocks, deck organizers, line
clutches, etc).  At these places, the deck is solid laminate.
