I have put a few dings in mine....but it is a very tough boat boat....I went for a 4 month streatch of sailing in 15-20kt wind 3-4ft roller 3 times a week....can get some good slams comming off the rollers....theres very little leakage in the hulls.I have been very pleased with it.....best thing....I can sail anytime I want...some of the guys here solo 5.8s but are limited at times by the winds..over 15...not too good an idea to solo a boat you cant rite...
