i'm new to the group.. Not new to Sunfish. Been sailing the same one for 40 years. it's leaky now.

I've rad a lot about separating the deck and hull, and peeling those up to get to the innards.

I haven't seen a method where one removes the coming, cleat, etc., uses a jigsaw to cut around the daggerboard opening, cockpit and mast, leaving a good sized edge to glass back onto, then separate the decks.?

This would seem to give great access to the foam blocks. If marine foam supplier is found, new foam could be shaped and glassed into place.

Also, a new thing layer of thin fiberglass cloth could be added to the underside of the deck, and the inside of the hull given the same treatment.

Perhaps fabricating a thin aluminum sheet glued to the remaining edges of the deck to make a cockpit joint reinforcement to glass onto.

The boat would never race, but it would be back for another 40 years or so.

Other than this being a lot of work, and it's probably better to buy a good used boat, what all is wrong with this idea?

Thanks!? Dave
