Hello Katja

It's some years ago now but I don't remember any damages in the hull. Maybe it makes sense to fill up the holes with epoxy filler to reduce angular tensions.

One day, swimming around the boat (DF920 no 10) I noticed that the bracket that connects the waterstay to the hull was gaping. The one bolt was broken and the other formed like an "S" - almost. Quorning said that the bolts with the round head had no designation of quality, and therefore on...

My boat is from 2013 but rebuilt this winther with performance floats and it also got the deeper rudder.

I don't feel any differens sailing stabord or port. But pleas tell what you know and mail pics on jdm@jdm-ing.dk

When racing I do the chicken-jibe just to save the battens for the next upwind. Sounds ridiculous. Now I have changed all carbon batten...
