RS Feva Daggerboard

   I have chipped about 1 inch of the bottom of the Feva daggerboard, tacking when it is in th mud doesn't work (I blame the crew) and don't have the broken bit.

It is the normal RS daggerboard (not the ali one) so does anyone have a method to repair it and what do I want to buy to build up the part and repair it?

Thanks

	Reply from RS incase others search in future: "The best thing to fix your Feva daggerboard would be epoxy thickened with microbaloons, all of which should be available from our spares dept. Depending on how much has chipped off you may need to fit some kind of pin to support the new bit, which you would need to fabricate yourself."

	I would have a look on the Rooster site. They have an article on how to repair a Laser daggerboard, I'd presume its not too far removed for the RS one.
	Better a crap day in Abersoch than any day at work.

	I bought the Marine Epoxy (yellow/blue box) and yes, having done a repair on a Laser daggerboard in the past, they are different materials, however there are some useful tips on the video so thanks for that.
