I just noticed some sagging of the lining inside my 1979 sloop main cabin. It is slight but visible in some spots. Any ideas on cause and repair?

water damage to cabintop

Gary: The cabintop is a sandwich of fiberglass on the inside and outside with a balsa wood core. This makes for a very strong and light structure and is a common construction technique. However any holes drilled into this sandwich that allow water to enter the balsa core can result in the core decomposing.
