One out of ten can be attributed to other factors

So, 1 out of 10 isn't a lay-up or resin problem?

You show a great deal of ignorance. Where has your head
been during the past ten years or so. Blistering has been
figured out. You need to read the link I posted in the
"blistering explained" thread. Blistering is 90 percent
due to poor lay-up procedures and cheap resin.

Ya have to read between the lines. The boob, our resident idiot savant,

a serious inferiority complex, thus, his problems with Donal and just
about
everybody else in the group. Boob is what is commonly referred to as a
"troll". Go to any search engine and type in "usenet" and "troll", and

on. Boob perceives that everyone else in the group is a better sailor,

owns a better boat, thus his constant attempts to prove otherwise. BTW,
the
blistering issue is generally considered a non-starter with contemporary
boats. It was a fairly widespread problem in the late '70's and early
80's,
I've read various explanations as to the exact cause, none of which had
anything to do with the "quality" of the manufacturer. Indeed, even
Bristol
had problems with blistering, look in any magazine and see what the
asking
price for a early 80's 41.1 is. Boob does provide the group with
endless
comedic relief, but it is definitely lowbrow comedy at best.

Its odd that none of the Morgan owners that I know have experienced
those
problems though. We were all kinda' scratching our heads after reading
the
review. I did look at the add for the boatyard with the note about
Benetau's
warranty work. Is blistering that common on Benetau's that a yard
would
use
up precious advertising space to specifically advertise this service.
Why
would someone build a boat these days that would blister so badly that
marinas would advertise for this when its known what causes blisters
and
how
to avoid certain techniques and materials when building a boat so as
not
to
get blisters. I saw a few Benetaus at the Columbus Day Regatta in
Miami a
few weeks ago. Sharp lookin' boats, but that would scare me if I saw
that
as
a prospective buyer. Is it Donal that owns a Benetau? If so how many
years
and is he having any problems? Why wouldn't Benetau recall these
boats
and
try to prevent the blistering with a barrier coat?

The reviewer mentioned
spongy decks, badly blistered hulls and failing hull/deck joints as
very
common on the 41 Morgan OI series and OI series in general.

Don't worry, newer Beneteau's have the same problems and some people
like
to
think that they're fine boats anyway.

Sorry to disagree concerning Bob. Bob is really an ordinary guy who
comes to this newsgroup to play.
He's a regular guy on other newsgroups.
No secret because he doesn't even change NICK or ADDY.

In other words he has no life. Spends most of his time
posting to newsgroups. Lies about sailing. Lies about
most everything.

Perhaps love is demonstrated by length of comminment??

Well, Donal, I'm not sure Capt. Mooron would argue that point...

12 years with the same boat.... it was love at first sight! :-)

Commitment shouldn't prevent opertunity. Turning down the 34XL would be a huge
loss and a mistake from any perspective.
We'd be throwing away money, comfort, fun and even time by not taking her..
Sorry, Donal. As usual, your limited thinking leaves you helpless and with no
point!

Yes, the intelligence and understanding therein
is quite intimidating to those women playing their
usual games. Such as LP know they haven't a
chance to get away with their usual crap.

Oh, so it's one of those boats you are "certified" to operate so long as
you don't raise the sails ...

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Hey Nil, are you gonna try for a sail endorsement when you renew or
don't you have the sailing time yet?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
