Great video with clear explanation. I have a leak on my boat from the chain plates and if I have small core wetness, I will do exactly what you did. Thanks for the video
Seems like almost fixing a deck core, but with extra steps. I think cutting the top fiberglass and replacing the core with an approved core material would have been easier.
Nice repair job...the anchor locker , I've seen a few lockers and I've wondered why they are not lined with conveyor belt rubber to protect the insides and make it quieter through the boat...?
Thanks for asking - yeah I guess we didn't mention it. They were all fine with the exception of a few frayed spots which they dutifully patched up. They also added extra material to the foot of the main and replaced all of my batten pouches :) We didn't add any additional reef points (we already have 3 on the main)
Going the plywood, glass and kiwi grip way would have cost me more than quadruple what this cost. If this was a total refit I would have the materials already and would go the extra mile but I'm happy with this.
I don't know about that. If the wet core was confined to the small area he showed I don't see why his solution wouldn't be effective. Our season is so short in Canada that if you had to remove the top skin, lam in some new ply then fiberglass the skin back on, committing you to Awlgripping the entire deck afterward, you'd have precious little time left to go sailing. I have a six inch area of delamination on my side deck near the water fill pipe and I might just try the approach shown here (unless the water infiltration is more extensive in my case, in which case I'll have no choice but to bite a much bigger bullet).

I would seal the holes which hold the switches with epoxy then drill them out smaller then put the screw s in. Just an idea just to seal the core.
Good point! yes, that would have worked as well. I'm going to have to start buying fiberglass in bulk like Madz does :)

thanks! ... very good point! ... hmm i'd like to try that
The scorpion 🦂 wanted your hot spot.
So it on sail life channel. Mads is a bit O C D. But very informative...
Man cut that shit out and replace the core !
What happened with the inspection on your sails? Seen you make the phone call, then you got them back. Add any reef points? Were they ok?

imho half fast repair.
