Hair line cracks in binnacle

Hi All

had a look at a Mac 26x today. Looked good but it raised a question that I'm hoping you've had experience with: There are a number of hair line line cracks on top of the Binnacle around the foot of the pole that supports the main/boom. Is this a problem ?

Probably not. It's most

Probably not. It's most likely just cracks in the gelcoat, it tends to happen at a lot of stress points.

The thing to check with the console is that it doesn't move if you try to rock it, and similarly the pole should be rigid in the socket and not have any sideways movement.
