Deck crack repair - best method?

Hello! I am new to this forum and also the new owner of a Sad Old Craigslist Laser. Lots of little things to fix or replace that seem straightforward, but I do have two big repair jobs:

(1) Two large cracks in the deck just forward of the daggerboard case. The access hole was already there when I bought the boat, assuming its related to the cracks. I am not sure how to proceed with this one so any advice is welcome.

(2) Cracking along the daggerboard case/hull joint, on the bottom of the hull. I’m pretty sure I just need to chip away the existing repair and fill with polyester resin (thickened maybe?) then re-glass over it...?
