The very tips of the bow and stern are particularly hard to glass around, and are easy to damage if you happen to run into anything non-liquid. I'd be interested in hearing how people have protected this area. A couple solutions I've seen is to use hardwood for the tip (like Edgar's latest boat) and using some kind of protective metal guard over the very tip (did I see this on one of Jay's boats?). What are some other methods? Thanks,

Ross
