Cracks, Voids, Dry Fiberglass & Damaged Hull Sections - Yes That Bad! | NEW Leopard Catamaran Re

In the next part of our review of buying a new boat from Leopard Catamarans, I address the vertical hull cracks that were present on our bows and transoms. I show you what was discovered when they were ground back in the shipyard in South Africa and how the subsequent repairs were messed up and had to be revisited in Trinidad where more issues were discovered.
