moisture?

[djmsailor]

I just had a 1982 C-30 surveyed. He said that there is nothing any other 1982 boats wouldn't have, but he mentioned there was some moisture on the port weather deck, around the mast step and in the cockpit. He said that the moisture was there, but no dry rot. He recommended rebedding the mast step, port stantions, port inboard genny track and steering pedestal. How difficult is this to do, and does anyone agree/disagree that rebedding will solve the problem. Thanks in advance for any advice

to clarify

I meant to write that there was no dry rot or delamination. Thanks

My 83Cat TR had the same issues when I bought her 5 seasons ago. I have rebedded all except the mast step which I will do before she goes in. I did it all myself. It's not hard at all just time consuming.

A good book

Hi again, There are lots of good books on repairs to guide you. There is also the archives here which has lots of advice. I don't know where you are on LI Sound, but if you go to Coney's in Huntington you will find them very helpful and friendly.
