Wannabe Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Bought an older windie to improve my cat sailing skills but I have split the hull and a large crack has appeared just below the crosmember bolt. Question is do I repair the hull ( with limited skills ) or purchase another boat and sell mine for spares. Don't suppose that any one has hulls for sale? I sail out of Adelaide.

QB2 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Its not too hard- just a messy job. Grind out the fibreglass around the crack in a circle, remove all cracked & loose fglass etc and bevel the area so you can add layers of new glass & resin from the inside to the outer edge. Do a search online for fibreglass repairs and see whats involved. Alternatively go to your local windy sailing club and see if anyone can give you a hand and tell you what to do. A windy owner will be able to tell you whether its repairable or a waste of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
