My laser 2 has gotten really bad over the past winter. I think the last of the wood inside the boat has rotted away.
I think I need to go in and do something to try to fix the problem. All my past searches turn up references to dead links.
The flexing is bad enough that a light tug on the mainsheet block(in the middle of the cockpit), will actually cause the floor to raise up. There are hairline cracks in the corner of the cockpit wall/ cockpit floor. Sometimes there are up to 4 of them, all about 1mm apart.
I have a One Design Laser 2 Event which will require us to be racing it 2 days. I don't want the boat to die on me. I have up until june 12th to do the repair(when my new job starts).
fiberglass wise, i've never done anything. Are there any good references online?
Also, a laser 2 cockpit is about the same width and almost twice as long as a Laser cockpit.
Or, if someone can offer me a cheap hull thats sound... I'll listen to offers. I feel like an idoit that I organized a One Design Event for the class and my boat might die in the middle of the 3rd race.
