This photo shows the old layer of fiberglass very clearly. It might help to click on it, which will provide an enlarged view. You can also see the multiple plies of wood used in the construction of the boat when it was built. They are not all mahogany. I assume the builder used mahogany on the outside plies and used a cheaper wood on the inside to save money. Because it is sailed in the winter, Interclubs get hauled out of the water after racing and, over time, the area where the two sides of the hull join up at the bottom get a lot of abuse. I have a lot of work ahead of me.
