I have a mid-1990s Laser with a factory defect in the foam core's adhesion to the fiberglass floor in the front left corner of the cockpit. This boat has been stored indoors and dry its whole life and never has been sailed hard, or extensively; it must be a manufacturing defect. The ~6"x~10" area of the floor basically is at the oil-can level of stiffness after one light air regatta.
The method I have seen used is to drill holes in a grid pattern about 1/2-3/4" apart and inject thickened epoxy, then cover the holes with gelcoat.
Is this an effective repair method or is this boat too far gone?
