as jagsy puts it "jungle tape" or others call it 100 mile per hour tape. You can get it in black and its water proof. Then until season finishes then fix!

I am a bit tied up for the next few weeks but happy to pop round and guide you through what you need to do. It is not difficult.
Good luck

i'll leave it till next round and then get into it..thanks

In that case, I'll come and help you.
If it is bad, please put some 'duct tape' over the exposed fibre glass to help reduce the 'water soak'. I have the stuff to fix it. It is on the black section isn't it? Al might beat me to it, but either way it will get sorted.

Cheers captain i will keep it at bay..

Diablo,
Post some pics, stress cracks are normal nothing to be concerned about. I just had my hull re gel coated due to beaching it so much that it was wearing into the glass. The stress cracks returned first time out. I have seen new boats that havent even been in the water with them.
If you still want a repairer I have a guy down here that does it as a profession. Reasonable rates too, but he lives and works from Wollongong.
