I'm new to this group and working on rehab of a 1964 Olympic Cub 24
foot sloop, red cedar on steam bent oak. I've sistered a couple frames
(laminated) and replaced a couple floor timbers. The hull seams are
wedged with what appears to be fir with the exception of very large
caulked seams on each side of the keel. This appears to be the original
construction. My plan is to fill those two seams with epoxy paste and
sheath over them, then soak the hull interior with one of the thinned
epoxy products to keep moisture from ever entering the cedar planking.
While I have read of this method working I am not fully confident that
moisture will not work into enough cedar to cause expansion and crack
the hull sheathing. The alternative I am considering is to fill the
two large seams with 3M 5200 and bring the sheathing up to their edges,
still coating the interior with epoxy. I would appreciate advise on
methods or products from any voices of experience with sheathing
planked hulls,

I am also looking for anyone who knows anything about the Olympic Cub
and whether any of the type are still sailing.
