I recently bought a 1973 Sunfish, I have taken it out 3 times and I love it. Although it is in very good shape it is leaking water inside the hull through the Mast Step and the Daggerboard trunk. I have read about Mast Step Failure and I would like to reinforce it. I already cut an inspection port close to the mast step. There is NO plywood donut at the bottom of my step.
My question is , how do I go about reinforcing it?
I already bought Fiber glass cloth and West Epoxy and 206 hardener and my plan was to add a few layers of cloth and epoxy at the bottom of the step and also glace over the step to eliminate the leaks.
Any suggestions on how to re-enforce the step would be greatly appreciate it.
Also any tips on how to eliminate leaks from dagger board trunk are welcomed too.
Thanks.
