Laser hulls aren't hard to get hold of,. maybe you should consider that rather than a PITA repair.

Boat not that old, between 10 and 15 years, mast pot holds water. will push a engineers camera through the gap and have a look. Never thought about the mast pot rocking backwards and forwards, no signs on the bottom of the hull.

Yes Davidyacht. Would you think it worth cutting a 150mm hatch into the deck beside the mast pot to check bottom block is still intact. If deck and hull separating likely of an age that other areas are failing.

There is some water in the hull but not a massive amount, probably a pint.
Should be a easy fix, force a gap then sikaflex, remove blocks and clamp back together. |

That would do it. Does not sound like a repair even Steve Bolland could carry off with his duct-tape skills Surprised you're not filling the hull with water if that's the case

Had another look, it appears the deck is detached from the hull on port side, I think the boat is actually distorting, you can easily push the hull inwards.
Foils looked ok when compared to others.

I suppose with a gentle curve and the shape of the dagger board you would get unwanted lift, advantage one side to the other.

There are certainly steel reinforcing rods in the board. The matrix is pretty brittle though, I'd be surprised if it could bend much, but warped daggerboard is the first thing that occurred to me with the symptoms. As well as trying someone else's foils in that boat try those foils in another boat.
