We are looking at purchasing the new Cyclades 39.3 and note that hull construction is single-skinned balsa sandwich construction while traditional Beneteau models & competitors products are GRP. I understand that balsa sandwhich construction is a lighter construction thus better performance but hold concerns with the strenght, life & post warranty maintenance issues, the vinylester, osmosis & repair complications if the hull is ever damaged. Comments most welcome. Thank you
