I spent quite a bit of time talking to Mark Shinn, about why there had been a spate of delaminated boards not just for Shinn but across a range of manufacturers.
There had been an issue where the bottom sheet had come off the large printer and then sits in a rack drying, it only needs about 60 minutes to cure.
Apparently in the Nobile factory they had been training a new worker who was putting them at the top and not the bottom of the drying rack, The next worker in the production cycle was taking the sheet from the top, when the bottom printed sheet was attached to the board this meant that the gel coat was sticking to the non cured ink and not the board. so a few rides in the water and the force of the water on the edge was lifting the sheet off.
As he explained it a classic example of a manufacturing warranty because of a small human error. All the shinn boards that were affected by this are replaced under the 2 year no quibble warranty.
The other issue that has seen a few Shinn boards replaced with cracking gel coats was and issue with a batch contaminated chemicals added to hopper containing gel coat, which meant that when flexed the boards gel coat shows crazing. Not any structural damage, purely cosmetic but again they were replaced under warranty. Again a human error as some one added out od date chemicals to the top up hopper
