Will, the jury is still out on Jane Doe. I have one rigger's opinion of
"OMG, the boat is going to fall apart" and another's "what's the big deal?"
The cracks are more than hairline, but when I use a straightedge on the
salon side of the bulkhead I don't see a lot of deflection and the head door
still opens easily. Given the close tolerances on the head door, it's
pretty tempting to believe that nothing major is going on.
What is clear is that I've had a leak on the starboard side chainplate for a while that I need to address. If that's the only issue I will consider myself very lucky.
Best to you. Hope all is well.

Subject: RE: Do I have a unique problem?
I have similar surface hairline cracks in my melamine finish within the head of my 1988 Ericson 911. I have been keeping an eye on it, but haven't taken any action on it since it doesn't appear serious at this point. Let me know how your fix works out.
