Help - crack in cockpit

[AMC]

Hi all - any suggestions on how to fix this crack? Just found it after getting it out from winter. About a foot long and water comes in, but no noticeable crack in bottom of hull.

I assume this is in the cockpit. I repaired an older fish with a crack like this. This can be fixed with a fiberglas patch. You can get a kit from West Marine that should do the job.

Super. Thanks! Duct tape is working for now but can’t imagine it’s a long-term fix.

Did any water get inside the hull? If so, you will have to do something about that first.

Tape over that crack and do an air leak test to figure out where the water is getting inside the hull, Check the chine and take the bailer out, check the bailer hole seam. And daggerboard trunk.
