Especially if the patient had been a obese one!You may be on the cutting edge of later model Sunfish repair. Post pictures of your attempts as many will undoubtedly rely on your pioneering techniques. Even a patient left dead on the table can be a leaning experience.
So it's a 1995 Sunfish Laser International (SLI). They were pretty good boats, but this one has had a hard life. If she were a horse, you would say that she was 'road hard and put up wet.'

If you havent already considered this...while you got it open, you might consider beefing up the mast hole..bottom looks minimal and adding backing plates of your choice, for the reachable stuff. I just epoxied in 1/4" aluminum plates and tapped 10/24 machine screws into them.
More pics with all pieces out. The expandable foam is probably 3 times the volume of the white structural foam, and the structural blocks are rounded off at most edges. I’ll probably make new ones.
I had to deal with the exact same jumbled mess when I rebuilt the bow of my Sunfish.First I had to clean up all of the poor fiberglass mess from the factory. It was a jumble of half glass half resin twisted goop at the nose.
