Hello everyone!

I have just bought a used H16 in almost better than new condition. I have noticed very small cracks no more than 2-4 mm around the hole where shroud adjuster goes through the deck to the anchor underneath the lip. These cracks are on the deck and only on one hull.

In the attempt to keep my boat looking as good as new I'm thinking - should I do anything about these cracks? Will they develop into something bigger? Or is this just a paranoia and I simply should go sailing?

Thanks a lot!
Yuri

Yuri- I wouldn't worry about it too much. Gelcoat will get some stress cracks like that. Start a new thread, it won't be seen here in another topic.

that happens to all 16's. If you fix it, it will crack again soon so it's not worth the trouble. As far as i know it won't develop into a problem.
