Hamble Marine Surveys introduce a short video of a yacht that has sustained grounding damage. A close look at the inner hull moulding and hull following the incident and the resultant damage to both.
I love watching these marine detective vids.. It's like watching one of those treasure diggers/swamp people /lorry hauling shows you see on telly nowadays..
Very surprised when you said that not only could it be repaired, but it would be stronger. As you were talking through that damage, all I kept thinking was that boat is toast.
This is what the MAIB hypothesised did for Cheeki Rafiki, a separation of the matrix liner following some groundings (and a repair). That boat was local to you.
Wow. Dont particularly like the construction... It did take a substantial hit & assume it got to port. 7 to 8 knots comin to a stop. Man. After All that you would wonder IF it was repaired right...
Nuno Santiago ......STEEL or aluminum are your only option’s it you want to stay away from a boat with that construction method. That is how ALL GRP boats are made!
