Inspection of the hull, inner structures, and appendages to detect delaminations, lack of core bonding, voids, inclusions in the laminate or debonding of the structure from the hull.

Foil, detection of the stock and structural hide laminate 

Anomaly results and findings as voids, delaminations and porosity

Motor yacht hull analysis with findings of GFRP porosity and osmosis

Thermography inspection:
Correctly bonding of the foam core of the hull:

Sandwich interfaces head-to-head joint and crushed core:

Monitoring of compliance with design requirements and production:

Different type of core or different core density used on local spot
