This is another proof of repair.

It’s clear that the wood panel is divided into several parts as a new boat is in one piece .
This can be verified with the video presentation that the panel is in one piece...

That's a hell of a fine cut for an in-situ panel repair. Is the RH line definitely a cut, as opposed to a guide wire for the window blind?

Don't think there is anything unusual about that join. The main bulkhead of my boat is made of three panels with vertical joints exactly as those. Inevitable given the constraints of the width of the raw panels, although it could be possible to make the joins les visually obvious.

You're missing my point. If that was a repair cut, the implication is that it was made in-situ. That's an extremely straight, extremely fine cut for an in-situ repair. I'm not talking about a couple of panels made elsewhere and installed. (My interpretation of what the OP is saying is that this panel was cut in-situ to enable some substructure repair).

Could you post a picture of your panel?

 

[lionelz]

Not that I know where that is on the boat but is that a big cracking in the group under the wood? Would not like to see that on my boat

 

[Tranona]

Could you post a picture of your panel?

Apologies for poor lighting, but you can just make out the vertical line in the middle of the left hand panel and also between the picture and the light on the right. Not easy to see when sitting in the boat except when the light catches it.

That is the product of the manufacturing process as the panel is too big to make in one piece. I think it is the same on your boat, but it might be different on other boats depending on how the panels are laid out on the cutting machine.

I do not think yours is a repair made after the boat was built.

 

[Tranona]

I know it is not the same boat. I am just illustrating that such joint lines are not unusual and does not indicate a repair or that there is any structural issue.

In this photo, a wooden board was added to the painted wall, it looks like DIY.

That's indicative of something going badly wrong and a later attempt to bodge it. Bad news for you; it may be untypical for Bavaria but the best manufacturers can get it wrong.

I would very much like to see that section on a sister boat for comparison.

You bet but whatever the comparison I hope Bavaria don't build them all like that!

Whitelighter and I went on to the 360 at LIBS yesterday - and the display boat has the same panel joint that you've suggested is a repair. And there is a guide wire for the blind on the right as well.

 

[Tranona]

Thank you , it will be useless to dismantle the wall.
Too bad you did not take pictures in the shoe cabinet .

Don't think it is intended to be dismantled. The bulkhead may be solid and the lines are just joins in the veneer, or more likely the join is a scarf or other kind of overlapping joint in the panel so that it is structurally one piece.

As I said before this is not unusual and the video should not be taken as indicative of how your boat (and the one at the show) should have been finished.

 

[Nick_H]

Were the wooden blocks doing something structural when you found them, or were they lying around loose somewhere in the boat?

 

[Tranona]

Of course, this video should be taken as an indication of how the boat would have been built and finished .
It is the goal of this very interresting video.

It is a promotional video, not the basis of a contract with a buyer. It will have a disclaimer as with all advertising that it is only indicative of what is on offer.

Not unreasonable to ask why your boat is not built exactly like the one in the video, but as has been demonstrated that is how other production boats of the same model are built. So, as I said at the beginning it does not indicate either a repair or a structural deficiency.
