Sorry to hear of your plight. In my experience, generally it's most serious affect is upon would be buyers, and especially pretend buyers who never really wanted to buy the boat in the first place - a most convenient excuse to get out of their purchase commitment !

Certain surveyors seem to make a good living out of O'. One in particular will never be allowed near a boat I own again, even it it meant a sale would fall through - if he went near any boat on the water it will have osmosis.

However, the following may be of interest to you ...

For my vote I agree with the idea of a quick grind out of blisters fill as necessary antifoul and go sailing. I would abandon the idea of copper coat and continue to rely on anti foul paint. As said be prepared each winter to treat he blisters. The experts will tell you to dry out the hull for 6+ months etc. Sailing time is too short for that sort of time wasting just get back on the water. ASAP. GRP boats tend to be built overly strong to resist rig loads and bending forces so must be quite thick GRP. Blisters in the gell coat will make little diference to strength. good luck olewill
