delamination

If folks have noted my postings here Silver Maiden is getting lots of work done to her. Work that has been deferred due to either lack of time, or money. Well money is tight now with me being out of work due to Covid-19 shutdowns, but I do have time. One of the things that has to be fixed...

Hello, I have purchased a 1977 Ericson Cruising 31 Which has cracking and delamination in the quadrant box and the insurance company will only give a on the hard non navigational insurance policy until it been repaired. Can someone out there please help. Thanks Bill
