I have a new boat #185449 with some gelcoat missing at the base of the mast step hole. I have sailed the boat about ten times and upon washing the boat today i noticed some gelcoat missing at the base of the mast hole. I bent a coat hanger to probe the damage and it appears that it is not a hole but about two inch long by a half inch tall piece of gelcoat is gone. I don't know if this is a warranty issue or not but i will report what i hear from the dealer. I know there is a lot of info on the forum regarding inspection ports and mast step repair, so if i have to make the repair myself, well so be it. The boat has not been turtled and i always secure the mast to the deck as the class rules state. Any feedback would be helpfull.
Thanx
