Hull damage falls into three categories:

SERIOUS
– large hole, split, crack, or worse. Don’t be too distressed!
Get the remnants back to RS sailing for assessment.

MEDIUM
–
small hole or split. If this occurs during an event, sailing can
often be continued as long as leaking can be prevented by drying the
area and applying strong adhesive tape. CAUTION
– if the damage is
near to a heavily loaded point, then the surrounding area should be
closely examined to ensure that it will accept the loads. Get the
damage professionally repaired as soon as possible.

SMALL
–
dents, scratching. This type of damage is not boat
threatening.
Comptec PE3 cannot be repaired in the same way as fibre glass. Some
scratching can be removed be RS Sailing staff, but dents cannot. Therefore
we suggest you treat your boat with as much care as you would if it were fibre
glass. More serious repairs can be carried out by RS Sailing staff; however,
the repair will never be invisible, due to the nature of the material.
The joy of owning an RS Tera is that it is very hard wearing, and any dents
and scratches it receives will not affect the structural integrity of the hull.
