Hmm .. Not one of my "breakages" ( More like a related damage ) - But the gunnels on my Fireball may need replacing ... I peeled a corner of the ProGrip up on Wednesday ... And it looks like bare wood under there! I hope not ... Else it'll be out of action for longer than we hoped! ( 2 weeks killing scratches / chips / small screwholes in the wood that do diddly-squat! ) On a possibly related note - Anyone here mind giving tips ( In PM ) for drying out that much wood? ( Or would replacing be easier? ) Edited by Villan |

A dry room and lots of circulation. Maybe a fan heater or heat gun Alex |

Be careful of the varnish if using a heat gun and as it will cause it to bubble. |

my most interesting breakage was a 1m by 50cm hole in the bow of a topper when I hit another one on the gunwale after sailing on the sea just after a cold winter which had a fresh water ice flows on the estuary. Only plus was it was a sailing centre boat.
