Alex,

Welcome to Da List !

Art,

 I will confess to cynic but will argue the nuts point. Alex asked a
question I gave an answer. If the need arose for me do undertake a repair as
he has and I wanted to it from the inside (my personal preferred method) I'd
yank that deck without a moments hesitation. IMHO it could be done with the
hull on the trailer with additional bracing. The only other option is to
laminate on the outside then fair it as best you can. If you can live with a
minor hull distortion it might be the cheap easy way to go sailing this
summer. 4-5 layers of glass should do then seal and paint damaged area only
and wait for a better rhodes to buy. 

Just thinking out loud

John S 

going sailin the next 4 days have a new furler and genoa to install and
evaluate
have a good holiday all
