One item I didn't repair on my DN was the bow-tang. It got twisted a bit in the crash, but it still fit nicely on the hull (it just wasn't quite centered...). I figured the forestay loads would straighten it out, and after a day of sailing around in winds around the teens to 20 mph it looked brand-new again!

Also, after said day of high-wind sailing, I'm pretty confident the repairs will hold up. I haven't checked everything with the proverbial "fine tooth comb", but so far I haven't seen (or heard) anything that would cause me to worry.
