Hello !

I need your help. Some days ago, while trailering my Hobie 16, some debris in the road hit my port hull, and made a hole. You can see it in the attached pic. The hole is just in the keel, in the very centre between the two pilons, and its size is about one inch -2.5 cm aprox.

The matter is that it just cutted the fiberglass, so I worry about the structural integrity of the hull.

How I should repair it?
Open a hatch in the deck and place some fiberglass?
Only a filler, as the hull strength and rigidity should not be affected.

I thank for your help; in two days I will come back, as I can not connect before.
