I am about to buy a Vega, but one this makes me wonder if should not.
On front-deck (not sure of the correct english here, but I´m talking about =
the
outside of the boat, in the front, were you stand and walk...) there are so=
m
areas with a blueish discoloration. It seems to come within, and is not
possible to clean off.
What could it be? Why is it blue? Divinycell migration?
Should I stopconsider buying this boat, even if it seem good in other ways?=


Thanks in advance for any advice on this!

Hi

The blue discoluration is where the gelcoat has been worn through. No problem
and is only cosmetic. Just clean, prepare and paint over if it worries you.

Kind Regards

That would surely be an happy explanation for me!
Have You seen it before? The only thing that talks against that explanation=
is
that the discoloration is not situated were you would expect the deck to be=

worst worn...

It's the gel coat wearing thin on the foredeck. I've had it for several years
now, no detrimental effect whatsoever.
