Hello,
I recently came into an '81 Oday Day Sailer II. I paid next to nothing for it and intend to learn on it here on Lake Erie. While I'm all for making any vital repairs, I really just want to get sailing. I'm asking if these cracks are major bad news, more cosmetic, or somewhere in between.
After cleaning her up (she sat outside, trailered for years) I noticed some worrisome "cracks" inside the cubby cabin. They are located on both sides of the cabin where what appears to be a support beam meets the cabin wall (so they're essentially on the ceiling of the cuddy cabin). There are four total (two forward and two aft). The worst ones are shown below- thumb for reference.
There's also a hairline around the centerboard housing. How concerning is this?
Thank you all so much!!
