My understanding of the Cabo Rico was that it was a solid glass hull, but had wood lining on that glass hull as a finishing/insulating material. If it's truly a cored hull, that would be enough to cross it off the list.

Having lived with a modern sailboat for the past half decade, I'm going old school this time. But the mission, and my priorities, have changed.

Solid core hull with lead keel
