... Why are you asking these 1980's questions? The answer to all your
queries is the same... rub some cowflap on your cheeks and it will all
go away.

Maybe she's a 1980's kind of girl...

On a list of the top 100 things that affect sailing ability, gel coat
blisters would not even make it on the list.
One could probably come up with 100 ways to improve sailing ability on
the average cruising boat more than getting rid of blisters.
A good example, most cruising boats are compromises, I happen to have
a shoal keel for cruising the shallow N. Gulf of Mexico whereas a deep
keel would give seriously better sailing performance. Absence of
blisters would make an insignificant change in performance and gel
coat blisters are not a structural or safety issue so I would not even
consider them in whether to buy a boat or not.
