[Public-List] dimples in the hull (was: Public-List Digest, Vol 3559, Issue 1)

[George Dinwiddie]

Daniel,

This happens when the knees don't butt directly on the underside of the 
deck. The force of the shrouds makes them pivot until they hit the deck, 
pulling in the topsides at that point.

If they're minor, it's no big deal. Or you could put shims above the knees.
