[MHml] Our boat damaged in a windstorm

[Diane Selkirk]

Hey all,

Our boat got damaged in a windstorm.  The mono on the same dock broke 
most of it's dock lines and swung around across the boat.  It bashed our 
bows and did a number on the forward most cross beam. 

Thankfully it's not too bad and our insurance company is very good to 
deal with (so far).  Probably get the hulls painted in the process of 
fixing it because they _don't_ have a "patch and paint" repair clause as 
many policies do.  Also the false foam bows once again prove their worth 
by being nicely wiped out with no structural damage to the basic bow 
structure astern.

So if you're in the northern hemisphere, check out your docklines for 
this winter season, and maybe have a look at your neighbors too.  Ours 
were fine and ironically I just doubled up on a few a couple weeks ago.
