: Thanks I will re evaluate the damage tonight when I remove the foot brace
: that lead to the early landing. How about areas that the wood is wet??

Let it dry

A few minutes with a towel will get off the surface moisture (probably already done). once the glass is off the moisutre in the wood evaporates quickly If you want ot speed it up try using a hair dryer on low heat for 15 minutes or more(boring process) or set a fan near it and the wood will be as dry as when you built the boat within a day. You'll want to remove any glass over areas where water may have soaked between the wood and the glass, but that is probably not a large area.

: Fortunately all the injuries on this trip were on the hike. The worst of
: which was a minor sprained ankle.

You might not think of that as a "kayak related" injury, but when you mention a hike, I start thinking that a lighter boat is easier to carry to a put-in site, or to portage, and less dangerous to drop.

Good luck with the repairs. I'm guessing the holes are from a footbrace that was mounted to bolts that went through the hull -- and ripped out under heavy use.
