It was a failure of the glue joint. I notice on my new boat you can see a 
couple screw heads throught the seam tape that I didn't notice on my first 
boat. Perhaps along the lines of the rivet use in aircraft.
I figure the narrow bow and stern might be the weak link in getting pressure 
on the two surfaces while the glue cures.
