I know your pain well, I had some Hull damage occur when I was in Town Quay marina. Luckily it could only have occurred a couple of days before I had the boat lifted. Once I had cleaned it all up it was a waiting game to see if she had taken any more water into the layup, the period after we had the heaters on it and then letting it sit to monitor it were the worst.

Which were 2-3 days before she was lifted. As I repaired it myself they paid all materials and forfeited the years mooring fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I was pleasantly surprised when I scraped back to gel coat underneath to find no damage at all, you would never know what is beneath the anti foul Scotch_Egg2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my MF755 I found a gouge about 3” long and half inch deep on the bow about half a foot under the anti foul water line. It’s was fresh as no growth on it. This was discovered when she was lifted for winter. I’m convinced (due to the freshness) that the yard boys did it whilst lifting her out. I reckon they hit the concrete wall as she came forward in the crane. It’s was of course denied. Still was a quick fix and no real harm done. But was a shocker when I saw it.

It must cost a lot, can see where the fees go. Scotch_Egg2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 2nd test match starts tomorrow against Sri Lanka, hopefully the Sri Lankan’s put up a better show with the bat, get a decent total if they bay first.

The water was stored in the crack between the epoxy filler and the laminate, it hadn't adheard creating a void. Yes there is a small amount of moisture but looking at the laminate I can see there is no wicking, resin desaturation or signs of a chemical reaction. Therefore there is no need for any radical treatments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
