[Tiara Open] Wet Stingers?

[reeltimebrad]

I cant speak for all the Tiaras but I know from at least 1995 and up on the opens the stringers are so tall that the strength is in the fiberglass and not the wood. I have had a couple of charter boats and they have to be dry dock inspected by very knowledgeable people with degrees in boat design. Before I owned a Tiara I had a 3010 Sportcraft that also had the very tall stringers and the inspector was commenting on how even if these stringers had moisture it would not matter because in his own words they look like Tiara stringers and all the strength is in the height of the fiberglass even if the wood rotted completely out it would be fine and that its only there to act as a form.
