FYI Survey: EXTERIOR HULL: [B1] The topsides and bottom were sounded with a hammer and I found de-laminated areas of approximately three square feet on the port side, four square feet on the starboard side both below and above the water line at the stem. This de-lamination apparently comes from the anchor locker drain (directly above) that is drilled through the core. Usually the hull core stops several inched from the center line so that a drain hole would be drilled through solid fiberglass but in this vessel and other C&C models I have seen the core is run to the center line. While desirable and ultimately justified to maintain structural integrity, a repair to the de-lamination not immediately necessary. However, it is important to prevent further water intrusion into the core. This can be accomplished by boring our the drain hole to install a 1/2" ID fiberglass or stainless steel tube, removing enough of the inner skin to allow packing the area around the new drain tube with epoxy, then fiber glassing Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 6:19 PM, Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List<cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: _______________________________________________
