Hi Everyone,
The mast wires on my 1971 Ericson 29 have been leaking water in from above and there's water damage to the compression post. So far it seems only the top 4-6in on the fore side have loss of structural integrity. The rest seems very solid. I think though the hanging locker plywood is also damaged. Has anyone else fixed an issue like this before? How do you know if it's bad enough to need to be replaced vs scarfing or sistering? Has anyone had issues replacing the hanging locker plywood?
Thanks so much!
