large open crack (damaged) hull behind CB well

Postby rafdo » Sat Apr 05, 2008 1:52 am

bought used ds2 with a 3" open crack at bottom of hull several inches behind the CB well :shock: . Appears to be from local damage. No stress cracks around it or connecting to the centerboard well :lol:

Is this a stress area or known problem area I should know about before repairing?

How do I repair it assuming full thickness 3" damage :?: Remainder of the hull looks great without visable repairs :lol:

3" long or 3" wide?

Also what do you mean by 3" deep? does it extend to the liner?

thanks 4 reply Roger. don't know cross section of layers to know where the liner is. Assuming it is breached since water leaks out from the bildge. How do I post photos on the forum? Looks like a deep moon shaped flap cut in the hull w opening facing forward. Deciding on best way put on it's side off the trailer.

Any structural diagrams anywhere. Found some on the CB which didn't show pivot bolt location? Was hopeful this site would have all the specs, pictures, etc. without sailing everywhere looking?

The damage may have occurred from the boat coming off the trailer while in tow. If you do pull the boat off the trailer for the repair you will need to be careful that the hull doesn't flex or distort while you have her on her side. Brad
