Yes, all Leopard 38's (1997-2003), all 85 of them, are cored below the waterline.
Balsa end grain.

Pm me for any further questions, or email me at peter (at) yacht.com

Most of the larger ones are too....

Lagoon and FP's are NOT balsa cored below the waterline.

My understanding after talking to some people and crawling all thru one is they are cored in most but not all areas below wl. And even so just their outer layer of glass is very thick. Possibly as thick or thicker than other b cats

Any number of Google searches and checking the specs for the hulls will lead you to believe that they are balsa below the water line like the entire range and arguably the majority of SA cats.
