Its completed and I've now paddled a fair bit, including some mild rock gardening, without even a hint of trouble.

I actually gouged right through the outer layer of glass on the bottom of the hull scraping across a rock, and the gouge went across the base of this, but you could not see any difference in the gouge.

Disclaimer - the inside of the cockpit is lined with kevlar/carbon fibre, which is pretty stiff
