One can appreciate not having a daggerboard and case.

I was thinking about how simple the design of HPs are. How they are simple to build and operate. And how that makes repairs simple too.

So, doing a thought experiment for a minute, how could one damage and repair a HP in such a way as to hide or disguise the damage and low quality repair in the manner of the link? And, how would one detect said shenanigans?

Now there is a kind of inherent 'not applicableness' to the whole idea, because all your HP owners are builders, (currently?) and have the skills to fix problems right. After building a HP perhaps ones brain it trained to not cheat like above. And the boat is pretty simple.

I remember Rob mentioned there was a problem with BL in there was something (peel ply?) left in an infusion that should not have been.

We just prior discussed how to deal with a hull holing at sea. Has Rob discussed how to do repairs properly? Most of it is typical 'this is how you repair foam and glass' concepts, and is not HP or II specific, right?

Your thoughts?
