This just happened to Hull #240 - 2005 vintage. Has anyone seen anything similar? Yard thinks it was a void beneath the gelcoat that had water in it than froze. I am a little skeptical . . .

Re: Bubbles
I concur that it was probably frozen water that expanded. The question is how did it get there. You probably want to use a moisture meter and see what the area looks like. Since the area will need to be ground out and patched, you should take a core sample and see what is there.
I did core replacement work on the J/30 I previously owned and had areas of wet frozen core that cracked the fiberglass.

Re: Bubbles
Thanks. I bit frustrating after all of this time. I suppose I will need to have the hull tapped to see what else is lurking beneath.
