HI,

I had / adn repaired major leakage problems in the deck area of my Amel Kirk build in 1973 due to poor maintenance of the previous owner. The Balsa core had turned into a wet sponge.

If you want to check use a humifity meter as used for osmosis prevention. Check areas where deck gear has been installed later and probably by non-experts.

Regards

Joachim

Can anyone tell me how the decks of earlier Amels (70's) were
constructed, please? Were they balsa cored? Has anyone had major leak
or rot problems. Thanks.
