Do you have a delaminated inner skin? Really weird.

:: Here's what me and JP noticed while fixing our backstay
:: system. Our backstay, like most of the boats I think,
:: has 2 main attachments: 1 is the deck hull joint just
:: port of the tiller; the 2nd is on the floor of the boat,
:: where there are 2 little fiberglass bulkheads just to
:: starboard of the exiting scupper where the floor meets
:: the transom. There are little chainplates on each of the
:: little bulkheads. The starboard line of the backstay
:: divides and one end attaches to one chainplate and the
:: other end goes through a block attached to the other
:: chainplate and starts the fine tuning system. After we
:: fixed everything, one of us was below looking at the
:: attachments on the little bulkheads, while the other one
:: hauled on the backstay from up above. When the backstay
:: is on, the floor of the boat lifts!! And when you pull
:: it on and off, the floor just goes up and down. Yikes!
:: Does this happen on anyone else's boat? Is this ok?
:: Thanks!
