That's my belief, based upon this statement:
" Looking down into the pump area he immediately knew he was in trouble
- where the keel bolts had been were three large holes that he could look
through and see the clear water of Lake Ontario that was rapidly filling
the
boat."
What do "three large holes" mean to you? To me, they suggest the fiberglass
ripped away. Rather than simply attacking me, why don't you provide an
alternative? After all, you said, "There could be any number of reasons
besides poor workmanship or design." So give us a few.
BTW, do the words "blisters" and "Valiant" ring a bell?
Sure. What has that to do with this thread? I'll be happy to discuss
Valiant blisters if you'd like. Or you can join the Valiant-Sailboats list
and read my posts and those of others on that subject until you're
satisfied.
I'm not attacking your choice in sailboats, Donald. I'm simply offering
information about a boat failure.
