Laser hull

   This is true but I got fed up with sticking it back together, The 8.1 rig and my weight are to much for the repair. I could of course have ground it out and reglassed it but hey life is to short and there are a lot of sound but scruffy hulls out there.

Thanks Rupert for the thought, Tim

	If that is the only damage, it is pretty easy to mend.

	Your club doesn't want to use it as a shore based training aid?

	Ancient grp hulls are easy to break, 10 minutes with a decent sized hammer and you'll end up with a pile of small bits that can be fed into bins etc. Not as satisfying perhaps as burning old wooden boats on the club bonfire, but it works !

	Councils obviously vary - I've taken several boats to the dump over the years. Chop it to pieces and stick it in bin bags? Or as said above, ebay it! Save you the cost of a saw...
