Hi everyone,
I am viewing a sadler 26 soon and just got the survey through done by the current owner back in 2021. It details hairline cracks around some stanchions and recommends "the stanchions should be ground back to sound laminate, repaired with resin, matting and colour matched gelcoat." I was thinking to do the repairs and then replace the stanchion bases with metal feet. Has anyone done this and can give me an idea or cost? Second, there are stress cracks on the bow above the water line where the anchor has been moving in the locker. They suggest grinding back 3mm or to sound laminate then rebuilt with gelcoat resin. Again, any experience and idea of cost? Thanks, any info would be much appreciated
