On the new style hulls with the curved edge seam.
The very front part I have noticed a portion of the curved area is broken off. Not past the bond, but missing no the less. Almost looks like a belt sander was taken to the front.
So how would that area be repaired. Seems like a real night mare to fix. Technically it is 2 pieces. You would have to grind both at the top which is easy and the inside curve on the bottom if you are going to do it in two parts.
The other option is to grind away at the top and make it one piece.
No sure I am going to tackle this repair on the 1996 Sunfish I have as it is more sort of cosmetic.
This boat just needs a small area in the bow (1/2 hole mid way down at the point) repaired and a 1/2" puncture hole on the deck. I also need to do an air test as someone tried to seal every thing up with silicon caulk. It looks ugly. I have a feeling there is a crack somewhere like in the dagger board seam.
This boat was used a lot at the beach. It has a lot of wear on the parts. The mast and boom were bent and I have to patch 2 holes in the sail.
