Steering System, Hull Structure / Re: Packing for rudder stuffing box

Thanks for your input.  I'm not quite sure there is a leak as boat is in yard for annual maintenance.  I will check to see if stuff box is above water line.  Kind of rules out leak if it is.  Repacked about 20 years ago and it seems packing was same as shaft log.

Steering System, Hull Structure / Packing for rudder stuffing box

Does anyone know what size packing is used in the 323 rudder stuffing box?  Is it 3/16 like the shaft?  Can't find it in the original manual or papers.
TIA

Mast and Spar Issues / Original mast finish

Does anyone know what type of paint and primer was used as the original finish on the mast and boom on the 1980 model P323?  I want to do some refinishing but I will not be removing the original finish.
TIA
