Stress cracking or crazing near mast (deck)

[Mvallus]

Hello,

Yesterday, I was quite surprised when I noticed this crack (photo) appeared just forward of my mast. I have heard that stress cracking (or crazing) near the mast is common on some J/105s. How common is this problem on other 109s, and is it cause for concern?

Thank you

I have hull 72. I have several stress crazing cracks like that. apparently common and not of significance.
