Hi everyone!
Long time reader from Norway here.
So the Covid-19 isolation leaves plenty of time for work that hasn't been done earlier...
I have a 1983 LASER that is taking in some water. The boat is in general good overall-condition, the mast step is tight and the drains have been replaced.
Turning the boat around I found a 50cm long slit on portside on the center (middle section) along where the two sandwich halves are mended together. It's just on one side, not around the whole boat. The gap moves when I push on both sides (where they are supposed to be glued together), so it goes all the way through. Width of the gap is about 1mm wide, so fitting a needle/syringe in there with glue might be very tricky.
Do you have any ideas on how to repair this??
I am handy but haven't worked much with polyester / fiberglass, so appreciate if you are specific..
