I have a ranger 29 that someone has pointed out a little compression around the mast step and some cracks radiating in the glass on the cabin ceiling under the mast. it has seemed to have sunk(visually by looking on the top of cabin) about 3/8 inch. There is some definate seperation in the cabin top. blistering and oil canning in the glass forward of the hatch. Is the cabin structural at all? What i would like to know is how serious is this and does it affect safety? I can live with imperfections but do not want to risk injury to someone while sailing. Are there cheaper fixes. i don't have a lot of monies tied up in her but have gotten a little attached as she is fun, fast and makes a great camper.
There is also a slight "pleasure curve" in the mast. Can this be rigged out?
