I just talked with a guy in our yacht club who took this same path years ago
on a small wooden sailboat. The boat had been out of the water for a while
and the hull had dried out in the process. He glassed it, re-launched it and
in due course the new glass split wide open. The wood had swelled as it took
on small amounts of water and expanded, as we all do over time. The glass is
weaker than expanding wood.
Bottom line: Get some help before you act. I suspect that the earlier advice
that it might buy you another 2-3 years is spot on.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew how much fiberglass tape and
epoxy i should get to put 1 or 2 layers of fiberglass from the
waterline and down over my wooden hull?


There is an excellent book about that by Alan Vaitses. I would use his
specifications but with epoxy resin, not polyester. Polyester will not
provide a good bond.
Or get a quote for epoxy and fiberglass from BoatBuidlerCentral.com
They will calculate what you need for free: click on the email link at
