1) Dagger boards- They are both in great shape, except for the bottom aft corners. They were both in a storage bag together. I'm thinking that at some point during the last 10 years (the length of time the boat was stored prior to my purchase), the bag was dropped. The corners are split a bit, and flimsy now. The damage only extends less than 1 inch from the bottom and the back. What I'm wondering is if I should trouble myself to repair them, or should I just round off the corners and be done with it? Rounding them off would definitely be the easiest route. I can't think of any marked deficit in performance that it would bring.
2) Battens- First off, I'm missing the third batten down. No big deal, if anyone has one, I'd be happy to pay you for it. The other thing is that some of the lower battens seem broken by the mast. There is a 3 inch piece directly next to the mast, then a 1 inch gap, then the full batten all the way back to the leech. Is this right? I'm not sure if all the battens are like this, it was dark when I pulled the sail out of the bag. As far as the missing batten goes, can I replace it with another batten from an old Melges sail I have lying around?
Bring on your opinions, and thanks in advance for your help.
