P36 - Gelcoat Fault

[hpwhite]

Hello All,

I have developed a problem in certain areas of the Gelcoat on my Prestige 36 topside.

It appears on zoom of the image that their are tiny piters in the Gelcoat allowing the blue under colour to show through as a background faded speckle.

The largest area is over the windscreen canopy on the starboard side leading up the the fly bridge.

The image below is a close up section of that area, can anyone explain exactly what this is, how it has happened and what if any remedies are available?

I am aware it could have a Gelcoat repair undertaken, but I understand this is only possible with small areas, whereas this is quite a large section! It looks almost dark in the image, but in reality, is just a light fade to the existing white appearance.

Maybe you could also show a slight distance shot, difficult to see the context with just the close-up

Yes, thank you.

Here is an image showing less effect but you can see the speckle and piting when enlarged.
