looks maily like comsetic gel cracks cause either an impact. or flexing on panels mainly nothing to worry about just cosmetic

Hi,
 
I have just got a secondhand dinghy. On the forward hull there are a bunch of visible cracks.
 
They generally run along the boat and most are like an arch/ half moon. If I can add aphoto I will.
 
Are these simply from  minor dings or a mooring. Could they be simple stress cracks from the panels flexing when hitting waves?
 
Should I be worried and should I bother to grind and fix them?
 
 
New to the forum and have read many interesting things here allready.
 
Cheers
 
L.
