In general I'm pretty cynical of boatyard diligence in the initial work (the problem here) and a timely resolution. Yes, I'm sure there are good yards out there and this may be one of them but the odds are not good in my experience.

A problem on my boat is always my problem. I've found my direct involvement solves it sooner or later and given the very tight time constraint presented in this thread, sooner is better.

To that end, any time I've been in a yard I've always provided an act of kindness early on, usually a couple dozen doughnuts before the shift begins the first couple of days. It works wonders.
