Osmosis inspection of a sailboat hull during a pre-purchase survey at the Port of Corbières in Marseille

Before purchasing any sailboat, it is essential to assess its real condition. During a pre-purchase survey at the Port of Corbières in Marseille, our firm performs a detailed osmosis inspection of the hull. This analysis helps detect the presence of moisture within the laminate layers and anticipate any risk of delamination or structural deterioration.
