Hi All,
Was out for a vigorous sail on the wkd before last and returned to the boat this wkd and noticed the fiberglass just below the port side settee had spider cracked. It also looked like the fiberglass in this area had bowed out a bit just below both settees (i am sure it used to be at a 90 degree angle). I opened the storage under the cushions to get a better look and the plywood separation had actully pulled away on the starboard side and been pushed up hard against the fiberglass on the port side settee causing it to crack. The only reason I can see this happening is from hull flex during sailing and I wonder if I should be concerned. As I said earlier the plywood dividing the storage comparments beneath the settee has completely separated on one side and is pushing hard on the other. I have an E27 (1974)
Regards,
