Haven't sailed her in a couple months. Wife and I went to check on her a week ago (Friend's house fixed dock) and the port side stanchion, second from aft had been smashed in. Maybe low tide and lots of wind... not sure. Problem is that of course it sits just forward of the cabinet and also encompasses the hull/deck joint. Super horrible place for a 6'2" guy to try to do work. I managed to clean everything out (also noticed it was plywood and then balsa... made me think someone had rebedded this before... Because the balsa core stops close to the hull/deck joint, I planned to take the balsa all the way to the hull and just slop on a thick epoxy with some fiberglass on top and once semi set, do the deck. Once that hardens, fiberglass the hell out of the bottom and eventually replace the side of the cabinet as it may help support the deck a bit. Any other ideas from you guys? I'm kind of wavering on using plywood again or just the balsa... I've already cut the balsa but it's going to be weird where the hull/deck joint is and is skinny. I'm good at fiberglassing and that normally makes up for a lot, but just want to hear your thoughts. Probably going to finish tomorrow. Many Thanks in advance. -Christian FYI- The pictures are in reverse order.
