Interesting.  My 1975 C27 has a solid fg hull.

Subject: [IC27A] Hull makeup and thickness

 
I was picking up a Harken roller furler this weekend and noticed something I had not seen before on a Catalina 27.  The owner was refitting his boat and was in the process of removing/filling in some of the thru hull fittings.  He pointed out that the hull, that everyone believes to be solid fiberglass is really a glass.foam/glass sandwich!  His boat, $4813, a 1981 model, is a close sister to my #4795, also an ’81, just 18 hulls from mine, so I made some photos for reference and thought I would pass them on here.  The first is the head thru hull and the second is another nearby smaller hole.  I am posting these here for your reference.  They are NOT to scale.
