One of the 300s (Ben Wards old boat) was involved in a car crash on the way to the Mounts Bay nationals some years ago. The car that ran into the back of the boat pushed the rudder post forwards opening up a crack as mentioned, so perhaps this is the same boat and its just not possible to properly repair it. The boat also ended up with the rubber trailer stop going through the bow, so new bow was built. Amazingly Bens accident was the afternoon before the 1st day of the nationals and LDC had him patched up in time for the 1st race.
