I just put an inspection hole in the back of my '71 era Sunfish last weekend and ran into the exact same situation. In fact, the foam made it pretty hard to pull up the piece of fiberglass after it was cut as it was bonded to it. To my relief, the foam you see is only a couple inches thick and...
Jamie, my wife and I had a similar experience our first time out. After that we jumped on you tube for some help. Check out the above videos, they helped greatly. We now love sailing and can't wait for the water here in Indiana to warm up!!
