Hi, this week I am just about to inspect Mariner 38 PilotHouse. I wonder is here is anyone having 1st hand experience with thees boats? To prevent confussion, it is the one build by Mariner Yacht Company in 1980/81 designed by Eric White & Arthur Berry http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=1881 I was not able to find if the boat is balsa cored or solid. In the advertising of another Mariner 38 brooker wrote that hull and deck both are solid fiberglass- but I can not much believe that. Would appreciate any information about these boats from manufacture to sailing qualities, what to watch out and what are thir weak points. Thanks!
