Good recovery after the "bump" ok2
Have you tried it with a Mocom 2024 or 2025? You'll notice the difference.
We have a race at Nottingham in October. You should have a go (its a bigger lake - so the sides are further away %) )
When you repair the nose, get some scrunched -up f/g mat and mix with resin to make a sort of putty, then holding the boat nose-down, stuff this into the nose with a long stick (about 30 - 40mm deep). It will add a little weight to the nose, but its worth it as the hull and deck won't seperate in a bump.
Cheers
Danny
