Jen, Sorry to hear of your plight. I heartily recommend Gougeon Brothers pdf version of ‘Boat building and Repair’ at their website. Good, well illustrated information- the ‘How to Keep Your Sailboat Alive’ for many. Good luck, have fUn, go sailing and always wear proper protective equipment.

I sailed too long on take-out day, got tired and dropped the rudder on the combing, which took a nice chunk out of the, just forward of the main winch. About 3" x 0.5", through the topmost layer.
I really want to do the old boat right, when I patch it up this spring.
Can any of you point me to the right materials, docs on proper technique, etc?
She's been stored dry and covered all winter. I love this boat.
Thanks!
