That sucks beyond words. What a beautiful boat too, probably built it
yourself which makes the pain even worse.

Yes, I built it a couple of years ago. A couple of months ago I brought it
in the basement for a sanding and revarnish job. While I had it there I

before cutting out and replacing the broken strips. Starting from scratch
might save some in materials but the amount of work would almost be like
building another boat. That boat took me five months to build and that was
before I had a 2 year old son.

Doesn't take the pain away, or the rebuild time, but you may be able
to sell it to a shop or something as a decorative piece, with the
broken ends dressed up a little.

Happy trails,
