    Hairline cracks in gelcoat

    I found a few small vertical hairline cracks when detailing my boat today (2000 SAN 210). There are about 5 on one side and one other other roughly the same location. They run from about 6" under the rubrail down to the bottom of the side of the boat. They appear to be associated with a small divet designed into the hull. Should I even worry about trying to repair these? They don't bother me at all cosmetically. I think they are just cosmetic, but could I run into any problems down the road if I dont fix them? The boat is already 15 years old.

    Most likely cosmetic or the result of an impact with a dock or trailer. I would monitor but if it doesn't bother you don't worry about it
