Robi,

1. Ouch!........ugly for sure!...........but not that bad of a fix.

2. We would just repair it,...like you said, part of the fun. Heck, when you travel to regattas, 'bites' like that are common,..and you have to fix them on the beach that night,....so to be ready to race the next morning.

3. However, ..if the builder is a truck ride away,...by all means go there,.....it will be a perfect job..

4. Why did you not dissassemble the hulls and pull them in your living room?......you pull everything else in there..:-) ,.......heck, you could rest your feet up on them as you watch TV...
