Yikes!
Hello,
Maybe the boat yard is confusing this wire with high-modulus rope, in which the cover is there for chafe- and UV-protection, and all of the strength is in the core. Could be, could be. But I'd be more inclined to believe that they are completely out of their minds. Hidden by the foil or not, the kind of damage you describe is not to be countenanced.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
