Survey missed bubbles in gel coat or recently developed
A friend purchased a small cruiser last spring and had it surveyed. While
getting ready for this spring's launch and applying anitfouling wax she noticed bubbles in the gelcoat. Contacting the person who did the survey, they said they would have a look at it again on the 20th of May with her regular mechanic. In the meantime.... 1) The surveyor said the bubbles in the gelcoat were not visible last spring and did not show up with sounding, and that maybe there was an electrical problem at our marina that affected the hull (causing the bubbles to form). She responded and said not other boats at the marina were affected. Could this phenomenon occur, or what are other typical causes of bubbles to form in the gelcoat? 2) Is there any recourse against the surveyor if the bubbles were missed during the survey. (I believe the surveyor is from the Kingston or Belleville area)? Mark (the rail, canopy, & lifeline hook guy) www.ripnet.com/vtf/prod03.htm |
