Soft spot on the roof

So last year, when walking on the roof I realized that  there was a soft spot.  After many hours of gently knocking with a screw driver listening to the change of sound, I pinpointed the problem to one or two screws that fix the genoa traveler rail to the roof.  Everything seems to lead to the conclusion that our balsa core is rotten to a certain extend.  No choice; we'll need to proceed to the unavoidable re-coring of a portion of the roof before launching Sputnik into the water this year.

Since the deck paint on Sputnik is brand new, and that winter doesn't seem to go away in Quebec, we decided to work from the inside which will hopefully leave our beloved awl-grip paint job spared.

Fun is just about to begin!
