I bought a "new" 1990 Sunfish off eBay, when the winner backed out. The boat was in a garage for 30 years, never sailed, and had all hardware and rigging in the original packages. The sail was a promotional sail and has Miller Genuine Draft across it. The one flaw was it had a saw blade injury towards the aft. See photo.
I am now going to repair it. I have done some fiberglass work before. I have some West Systems Epoxy and have 403, 406 and 407 fillers. I have rewatched various you tube videos on repairing the damage. Grinding out on a 1:12 ratio, putting in a backing board with thickened epoxy, layering it up, fairing it, and then re gelcoat.
But before I start I wanted to solicit any specific advice that anyone might have.
Thanks for any and all help.
