I've seen a couple of clippers where there was separation between the side fiberglass panel and the back fiberglass. The separation was enough that it had pulled out from under the vertical molding. What causes this and is it hard to fix.

Thanks in Advance for your help

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought that this was typically caused by "rear-end sag", which is well documented in the Clipper journals.

The fix can get tricky, and depends how bad the separation is, how long it has been separated. Basically you first have to eliminate the sag by reinforcing the frame, then go about re-attaching the panels.
