Blisters on Hull

Hi,

I have a 26M which is nearly 3 years old. It is out of the water for anti-fouling and I noticed about 15 small blisters about 10mm in diameter photo attached. Not sure whether I should worry about them or simply ignore them. When I punctured one of the blisters it seems to be full of water. One of the guys in the boatyard said it was probably moisture in the original anti-fouling as the boat was too new for osmosis.

Any thoughts / advice ?

Thanks
Kevin

Re: Blisters on Hull

doesn't look osmotic to me, and likewise, too new. Also the resins are much better these days. there was a period of osmosis riddled boats built in the early eighties or so that had everyone panicking like crazy.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; In practice, there is.
