I bought a Beneteau 331 a year ago last November. Sailed it from Charleston to BAhamas then Boca Raton. In Sept./Oct. of 2004 while sitting in the salon, the sun was beaming in thru the hatch illuminating the main bulkhead seperating the salon from the v-berth area. What appeared to be "pimples" the size of a large pinhead covered the complete bulkhead averaging 5 to 10 "pimples" per sq. inch. A stem to stern examination revealed that practically all the wood surfaces were affected exactly like the main bulkhead. I phoned the dealer, St. Barts Yachts, and the owner assured me that it would be covered as a warranty problem. Apparently, other boats are affected with the same blistering problem. According to St. Barts Yachts, they have three boats with the problem from their dealership alone. Question: Has anyone had the same problem with their Beneteau? Has it been resolved? Has the work done brought the surfaces back to "showroom", "like-new condiltion"? MY concern is that the AMOUNT of sanding, stripping, filling, caluking and re-varnishing that will be required is so overwhelmingly large, as to be impossible to restore the showroom appearance. Someone please advise. Charles Frick, Boca Raton
