I just purchased a 26" clipper sailboat. It is going to require a lot of
fixingup. The wood inside the fiberglass hull is going to need replacing. I do not know how to attach wood to a fiberglass hull, what kind of wood to use, how to sucessfully remove the interior without damaging the hull. Any help would be helpful. A few thoughts, have you checked that the cost of fixing it up makes financial sense? If it needs that great a level of repair it may be very expensive. For FRP I would use an epoxy resin for wood-hull joins. I suggest you get hold of a book dealing with boat repairs in the area you're working in (FRP) of the serious rebuild variety. www.amazon.com. However, before parting with any more money, and given that you come across as someone who has very limited idea of what to do, ask if you have the necessary skills to do the work required to a sufficiently high standard (it could be your life at stake). I would seriously consider cutting your losses and getting hold of a boat in better condition. remember that this advice is worth precisely what you paid for it. Al |
