I arrived back at the parking lot after a couple hours of playing around and proceeded to load the boat on top of my car. Disaster struck! I am not used to the more narrow profile of the Legend compared to my Necky Tesla, and as I was pushing the boat up on the racks it slipped off the top of the car and CRASHED down on the curb. OUCH! Boat broken! :,( I'm sure Pete probably logged more than a thousand miles on this boat, but I managed to mangle it after 5 miles.
Anyway, I recall reading a number of postings from members who have had damage to their boats, and I would appreciate any recommendations as as to a good place to have the damage repaired. It has about a 9" crack, starting right at the front hatch on the starboard side, running down to just before where the hull begins, and back up again a couple inches. I was thinking about maybe taking it to a place that repairs full-size fiberglass boats at Channel Islands Harbor? Any opinions as to whether a full size boat place could do as well (or better) than a place that specializes in Kayak repairs? Attached are some pictures of the damage.
