You will want to grind out the areas with the holes, but not with a belt sander. Open them up a little with something more like a dremel tool. Clean the area up and build it back with fiberglass fibers and epoxy. You might have to do this several times to build back to original level. Then, use a fiberglass cloth to repair the whole area. This is a larger repair than just filling the holes. I'm going to guess that something, very hard, made contact with your centerboard trunk. Removing a larger area of bottom paint might show more extensive damage than you are currently seeing. Rummy In a message dated 5/31/2011 4:55:19 P.M.
