Found Crack in Internal Hull

[Lu Sea]

I'm not sure I am describing the location correctly, but it is in the cavity aft of the bilge at the foot of the companion way. You can see the crack in the attached picture. This is a brand new boat, only sailed her from July to September.

Doesn't look like a serious problem since it isn't a structural section. Just a lack of quality in forming the corner. You can fill it for a few dollars and keep an eye on it, or have a fiberglass repair person grind out the area and lay new glass (several hundred dollars).

Cosmetic gelcoat crack. Go ahead and drop a winch handle on your combing to create a matching flaw...and quit worrying about it

If your yard miss-places the lifting straps when launching, it can cause cosmetic cracks in gelcoat. Part of life in sailboat land.

You DO have your sling lifting points clearly marked on the topsides AND the deck? Drain you water tanks before hauling.
