Great post, keep it going.
Another area of failure with this generation of hulls was the centre decks. They failed over time because the (5) stringers were inserted directly into the top of the foam sub-frames. They could not carry point loading of a knee, or high impact, coming in of the wire with gusto. A picture suggests the centre deck has been removed, and failure is evident. Suggestion: upgrade the deck support method whilst its off. See a previous post by Simon Hallsworth who successfully made this upgrade on a sister boat last winter.
Also he has info on face book. Contact him for info. I can supply some also. Send a PM.
