I spoke to the guy over at Chapmans Shipwright a while ago. I have owned 2 Chapman pirogues for over 20 years. Chapmans offers 'repairs' to used pirogues. Contact Steve. steve@pirogue.com or at (504)277-6526. I think he said it was @ $100.00 for crack repair and to repair the wood around the top of the pirogue. My figures may be off, but thats what I remember.

Is the cracks through the glass or they just in the gelcoat?
