I've been examining the 5.2 SWX after the last outting. The wing actually did not get any holes. What I had seen while out on the water was the one single aramid fiber that had split.
I went ahead and used Gorilla tape to make sure the damaged section wouldn't get any worse.
I cut off the split fibers and placed tape on both sides of the Xply.
We'll see during the next session with this wing if there are any issues (there shouldn't be). At some point I was thinking I needed to add an equal amount of tape to the other side - but this stuff weighs nothing so I didn't bother.
I also filed the Kujira 1095 and the 178 so the rough edges shouldn't be an issue either. I guess I got off easy from the last session.
