Hello again. Haven't been here for a while as I was extremely jealous that some were sailing while I was shoveling snow!

Anywho, getting ready for the upcoming season and need to repair a leak in my Nacra 5.0. The crack appears to be on the extreme bottom, and looks like a split where the sides of the hull meet. The entire bottom is a bit worn, and so I figured instead of repairing a spot here and there I would do the entire bottom.

My experience with fiberglass was about a week of instruction in an aviation maintenance class about 10 years ago. I have the general idea, using three'ish layers of fiberglass tape, each layer increasing in width, but am wondering how doing the entire bottom would change the procedure.

Should I do one long strip? Should I cut them up and do a 3 foot section at a time? Should I use a very slow hardening epoxy mix? Can I do one layer, let it dry, and then do a second? Or do I have to do all layers at once before they dry?

I tried doing a search but I probably wasn't using the right combo of search words.

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

The Nacra is upside down, taped off, ready for some lovin.
