I have 3 new holes in my yak. She is a Night Heron and the biggest hole is around station 15 2" below the sheer line down through the chine. Any basic repair tips out there? One of the holes in the cockpit appears worse on the inside than out. This one I have a large punch through and then a long area that still looks like it is compressed on the out side but on the inside is a long tear in the glass. Am I right in that all this wood needs to be replaced?

As to how this damage happened you will have to wait for the trip report to be completed. It will probably take until the weekend as we have over 200 images and over 8 minutes of movies to wade through and the text for the three days to compile. As soon as I get my Digital camera emptied I will post pics of the damage, possibly tonight.
