Good morning folks,
I have a question on traversing dams in my Kevlar canoe.
When canoeing the Oswegatchie in my Royalex canoe when I encountered dams at the waterline I could just glide right over them. When I encountered some that were above the waterline a bit I would exit the canoe, stand on the dam, and pull my fully loaded canoe over.
How should I handle this in my Kevlar canoe? I am paranoid I will hear this cracking sound and be back in the market or back at the canoe shop for repairs - is something like this is even repairable?
Also, if I am dragging the Kevlar canoe over the water level dams how badly does this scratch the hull? I don't mind wear and tear on my gear - in fact I kind of like that lived in look. Just wondering what to expect.
Thank you.
