[Rhodes22-list] Preventing bow damage when trailering

[Cary Tolbert]

Jerry, it looks more like bad patches that were painted over rather than
new damage. Then I could be wrong.
You may want to invest in a book like Don Casey's "Sailboat Refinishing" or
a similar book for your new baby.
I don't think the damage was caused by the Triad Trailer.
