Indeed. That's the issue. Even if you wrote-off this hull you are going to face another ding before long. They happen and when they do you don't expect the Mfr to sit in smoke-filled rooms deciding what to do for the next four months - and then come up with a solution that is essentially un-tested. You know what I'm saying but nobody wants to come out with it. The only way for damage limitation in this product (and loss of public confidence in the Industry) is for the Industry as a whole to address the problem and not treat it as 'proprietary'. I can't see a safe alternative.
Heaven forbid they'll be a bad outcome and I'm sure many of the best minds have looked at it. Out of curiosity, I wonder if the decision-makers have indemnity insurance covering this?
