What I would like to know, - is there such a risk (for glass boats)? *************************************************************************** I have two slight but noticeable depressions in the bottom of my Romany Explorer as a result of filling the hatches with water while the kayak was on the car (I was looking for leaks). More recently I noticed some slight, narrow depressions on the sheer where the hull meets the deck. Those are from hanging the kayaks using 5/16" halyard line. (It's time to add seat belt webbing to those lines.) So yes, fiberglass can deform, even on a British "heavy," but nowhere near as much as polyethylene.
