Topic: Hull Repair? Posted: 15 Jan 18 at 12:52pm |
Hi
I have a byte CII that I haven't used in a while and after a long time sat on its trailer looks like its settled and taken damage. Its formed a crack that's gone right through the GRP just under the gunwhale and the surrounding GRP is now soft IE it gives when you apply pressure. Has anyone seen similar damage and it been repaired or is it really bad news? Thanks

I would remove gelcoat from area and re-lay new fibre glass matting, then fair out to existing hull using gel coat or body filler (depending on age of boat).

first course of action
get it 'indoors' and dry ( ideally somewhere warm- ish and dry - doesn;t have to be room temp and bone dry but obviously that is going to be better ) but gettign it somewhere dry is a start remove any loose gelcoat / explore around the crack to see if there is delamination and /or the gelcost seperating - if so you need to get that off to help dry out the underlying laminate |
