The least intrusive fix would be to sand out the damage and re glass the area with finish cloth and some surf board resin with a UV additive and some flex agent.

The best repair will require extensive sanding and refinishing all the exposed wood.

Pretty touchy repair honestly, too detail oriented for me... :sly:

CHROMEY,
Contact Jeff Glow at Smooth as Glass in River Bank, Ca. Smooth As Glass <smoothasglass@sbcglobal.net>
See what he has to say. Don't take up too much of his time as my Hallett is up there getting some stress cracks taken care of.
I hope I get my boat back before Mother's Day.
Tell him I recommended him to you.
Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the crew this summer.
THD
