My old C&C had some
blistering. It isn't the end of the world.

Nope. Rare that the damage is bad, but best to catch it early, especially on
the Beneteau.
Good info on Valiant...thanks.

The problems were isolated to those
particular hulls, but the "blister boat" label really hurts the value
of those (specific) old Valiants. No problems before or after. Great
boats.

I think I read in Sailing about those "bad years" and Valiants, now corrected
and protected that can still be had for cheap.
Not a bad way to get a serious cruiser.

Blisters on fiberglass yachts are sort of like Bobsprit.
They show up only after the work has been done.

Isn't steel another set of problems all together?
