I have an '88 H16, fantastic boat. Since the last couple of hard sails I have noticed the outside of the stbd hull has started to delam. From about 2' aft of the bow for 3 - 4' and about 12" to 18" deep. This is the only soft spot, the decks are good and hard. I have seen Matt's FAQ re deck repair and I guess I can apply same principal tho' I've never worked with GRP. How serious is this? Can I make the repair with the hull vertical or do I need to lay the boat on the side? If vertical I guess I just need a row of holes at the top of the delam and fill it until the resin appears out the holes? Now the dumb question. Are comptip mast a safety feature or about reducing the weight up top? Thanks so much for any input. |

The delam should be fixed. YOu may be able to do it mounted on the hull, but it would work better if the surface was more horizontal. CompTips are a safety issue only: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=78 |
