Re: 39' stinger hulls?
Hull layup issues are the most common complaint. Stringers are probably second.
There were some issues with the glass crew around 86 to 88 but most problems were on 312s (delamination) and Amerosports (rigging crew cut through stringer to route plumbing).

Stringers, transom, and bulkheads. Had to replace most of ours when we rebuilt an 82 to race. Deck to the hull joint could use a good look as well.
