Note that the J Boats of that era tended to not have hardware well sealed when manufactured resulting in many areas of wet core. http://www.hoytsailing.com/J27Web/Projects/recore/recore.htm When we spoke to the broker prior to purchasing the J27 he suggested that we “sail it as is until something major breaks and then cut it up with a chainsaw”. The wet core had reduced the original asking price of 19,500 USD to our purchase price of 7000 USD. We ended up replacing the core in 14 different sections of the deck and cockpit. The hull was basically dry and it was a great boat and a lot of fun. The link to the boat and its full list of projects can be found here if anyone is interested. http://www.hoytsailing.com/J27Web/Index.html Projects included garboard drain, cabin sole replacement, building a custom trailer, re-bedding (properly) everything, a complete bottom job and other various tasks. The core areas were replaced by cutting off the top skin and discarding. Others have had great success with removing the top skin and saving for re-use. Balsa coring was used since it is cheap, easily transported and obtained and now well sealed. The decks were strong and very solid after the repairs. Hope this is of some use to somebody.

I need to pull the leaking tracks and attend to a soft spot where one boards at midship. I'm using 2" blue painters tape -- it's not waterproof, but it works in areas where the water doesn't pool on top of it. Usually put down two or three layers and change it every week or so here in Miami because of UV exposure. In areas where water pools, I've taped down plastic with the 5 or 6 layers of painters tape and it "mostly" works.
