Laser Repair

Hi , can anyone advice me on how to repair the bow of my laser which has a piece broken off following impact damage. I do not have the missing piece.

Please see attached photo of the damage.

What is your experience working with fiberglass? There's a couple of ways, depending of your experience.

Search Rooster on YouTube and look for there foil repair video. That's the same idea I would use but with heavier dowels

x2, this method is a good idea to add some strength, west systems works well

No no no no....
Don't copy the foil tip repair.

Clean it all up and remove any burrs to make a neat hole with ( important ) rounded corners.
Chamfer all the edges of both skins and build up your laminate from the hull...use plasticene or similar neatly covered in cling film as a bridge while you laminate the deck skin up to a millimetre shy of the outer skin level.
Find an un damaged laser and take a mould of the bow with either - a two part rubber mould ( expensive ) or mould putty modelling clay plasticene or whatever ( thoroughly wax the intact laser bow first eh )..
Once your laminates are cured brush gelcoat into the mould and position it.
This sounds all very easy but it's a brief description, each segment carries it's own bunch of things to do - prep, amounts, forethought in clamping/ holding etc etc..

Depends how much you love your boat regarding the depth of effort, I've seen folk just squirt in tubes of outdoor silicone in there and carry on, very ugly but moderately effective.

Here is what I did. I used the epoxy that you need like play dough. It worked great.
