Core damage is common in boats with cored decks! This is one of several places where stanchions were plucked out of the deck on R33 no.15. There is nothing for this but to re-'glass the whole thing solidly. Why rebuild what ought not to have been done in the first place? But the Raider was a 'budget' performance boat, not a C44, too typical of 'cost-effective' production boats. Budget constraints in time and cost were probably responsible for the silicone around the chainplates which most probably caused this damage. 14 Mar 2013
