Not a poor construction problem.

The Shock 40 keel/rock problem is widely known. The fact that the
indian boy tried to use it as a bash of Shock boats just makes him
look even more like the nimrod he is. As I stated previously most
sailors have quite a bit of respect for W.D. Shock and their build
quality.

Hmmm, is welding not a part of construction? Seems the design was ok but
the flaw was in fabrication.
