[C320-list] Chips & Hairline Cracks

[Peter Clancy]

When the C320 group toured the Catalina factory in Calif a few years ago there were a couple of workers repairing scattered chips and dings on boats at the end of the production line. I believe Gerry Douglas  commented it was fairly common for boats in production to gather a few chips and dings in the process. The repairs I saw were excellent and could not be detected when completed. Sounds like Catalina may be getting lax on this?
