Ebb...you'll be happy to know the electra had ALL the same Pearson/Alberg traits as well.I often wonder why builders don't simply leave coring completely out where bolts will pass and simply put an extra few layer of roving there.That would be simple, stronger and solve a lot of future deck problems. PS...the story goes that an A35 was sailing to England and experienced foul weather.After reefing down and slogging on they eventually tired and decided to 'lay ahull' and went below to play cards and drink coffee.After the storm passed they continued on only to find out the had gone through the same storm that sank several boats and took several lives....the 1978 Fastnet storm.
