Hi again,
I just turned over my new free 70s Goldfish (SF clone) and found that there is a small series of spider cracks on the aft side of the mast step and a crack down in the lip. Sort of looks like something pushed the mast back into it: No knife can be stuck into the spider cracks, but I can get a thumbnail into the crack on the lip. The cracked areas are apx 2.5" x 1.5" on the deck and 1" x 0.5" down the lip. There is no deck flex in the immediate area. I have not yet leak tested the boat, but I wondered whether this is a terminal problem, no big deal, something I'll just have to try out, or something I should try to repair somehow, and if the latter, how.
TIA,
Catya
PS I don't have a digital camera, so I can't send pics easily.
