19.4.3. Chips in the non-slip paint
Note
: Scratches and chips are not serious to the solidity of the boat, as the outer covering does not form
part of the structure. It is however important that water cannot penetrate through to the fibreglass.
In the event of any significant damage, it is essential you contact your dealer.
