Are you sure it isn't just a (British) scratch? Gel-coat on British boats is normally quite thick. I leave my dings and scratches there for the word to see as a tribute to fine British craftsmanship. I used to repair every scratch and chip that flew off my previous Kevlar boat. Now I just chuckle with every new gouge and scrape, knowing that a lesser boat would be sporting holes at those points.
