Grounding damage

Well, I was a little premature in my comment that our grounding Sunday caused no damage to the boat. When the centerboard hit the bottom, it twisted or tipped sideways and one of the fittings tore a gouge through the centerboard pocket. The area had been repaired before, cause I popped off the wooden patch that had been put on.

So last night I started sanding the areas on one side of the hull and deck that need to be fiberglassed. I wasn't planning on doing much of that kind of repair this season, but although the rip is above water line, it needs to be done. I might even bite the bullet and repaint this year too.
