Back to topics Oilcaning to Westsail 42 sides?
My friends have a Westsail 42 that has been on the hard for a couple of years. I am seeing that it has a large pair of dimples in the sides, they are pushed in deeper than the thickness of the rub rail.

I am wondering has anyone else had this happen on their Westsail 42? Could it just be from sitting on the hard for a couple of years or is it a bigger issue?


The photo attached is looking down the Port side. The dimple in the side of the hull is about 30" long and 3/4-1" deep in the middle.
