: Hi All,

: When I was putting the Derijp away after paddling this afternoon, the boat
: fell on the bow from about six feet up off the garage floor. Put a real
: nice delamination in the epoxy.

: And I just finished re-varnishing it a couple weeks ago so she looked good
: for the Newfound Rendezvous on Saturday. Not sure if I should try and
: patch it up real quick or just leave it home now!

My opinion.. if you have room, take her anyway. There'll be folks that will wonder how to fix this sort of damage, and some with ideas on how to fix it.. Could be a good learning experience for all concerned. Can't have all perfect boats there... people will wonder..! ??
