Re: Great South Bay Spring Fling!
Will try to make this and also try to help get it going. My dad will be bringing his 31 up from Florida this summer since his 32 Blackfin was destroyed in the storm. So we may attend in an actual 31!

suggestions for filling holes in clear acrylic
I have a curved acrylic shield that cracked a bit when my guys were drilling holes through it. I need to fill the holes and I am hoping one of the experts on here has been through a similar scenario.
Any pointers?
