Question for the surveyors: buyer wants a moisture survey on a 1998 GRP hull that has been in the water for three years. How long out of the water before readings mean anything?

Giulia Marchetti (demo)Minimum a week, ideally two, and take readings on day one and day seven so you can see the trend. A single reading tells you nothing.
Nikos Andreadis (demo)Agree with Giulia. And read the keel stub separately.

Andrew asked the questions everyone else was thinking. A pleasure to teach.
