I noticed the daggerboard was deeply notched on opposite sides; one high, one low; so it looks like my daughter ran aground. After a closer look at the damaged boat this weekend I found the lower aft if the dagger trunk is split or cracked (about 6 inches). I can see the crack from the outside and feel the damage from the inside (through the deck inspection port).
whats my best way to fix this?
My idea is that Ill need to install another inspection port in inside front of the cockpit. Starting with inside the hull: Shave off any fibers in my way. Soak the damaged area with epoxy, then glass and epoxy, and over do it somewhat, because this is a stress point, by wrapping the glass half way around the trunk. Outside the hull: fill crack with marinetex and keep it smooth so I won't have to sand.
How does that sound?
