Any idea why that happened or what caused it?

Is that "only" gel coat separating from the carbon fiber? I say only as in you guys were never in any structural danger right?

there is no gel on carbonfiber...only paint. the skin coat came off in that area. mystic is standing behind it 100%. i have seen every race brand do it at one time or another. 50 plus feet of carbon boat that is going 200mph you are going to find flaws.

Make one class with either all piston engines or all turbines and then you would hve something.These boats are all cool but if they were all equipped the same it would be better for the sport not just peoples EGOS.Sorry for the delam and I hope that unification is in the future or this will be a sport of the past.SAME SH*T DIFFERENT YEAR

The problem with the JBS boat was not a structural failure by any means. The outer layer of carbon that came off is a vail layer to lessen print through and act as a barrier to the inner structural layers of carbon. The laminate was left open to long in this area of the boat and started to cure before the vacuum bag went down so it didn't adhere well enough to the inner skins and after running loosened up and sheeted off.

As Joe said Mystic Powerboats is standing behind this problem 100% and the repair is nearly complete. The boat will be up and running again very soon for a long winter of testing and many years of very competitive racing. My crew and myself take great pride in what we build and work very hard at it, we are very sorry for the inconvenience of this but I can personally assure you that Jeff and Joe were NEVER in any danger because of the delamination.

Seeing four of our boats running at Key West was very exciting and rewarding we are looking forward to a great season next year for all of our boats.

Best regards,

John Cosker
President
Mystic Powerboats Inc.
