<p>Hi Johan,</p>
<p>Sorry to see the damage, I'd be most upset. When renovating my Tiki 21, I had to make a similar repair. As boatsmith says, you have two ways to go. The best being to cut out a neat section and replace. See my post link below. Importantly, see the link in that post to a video instruction on how to do the work. Good luck</p>

<p>bestest most pretty repair would be to cut out all damaged plywood, then taper all of the ply edges (scarf) 2-3 " and fit a patch with matching tapered edges in with epoxy.Fair this out with some bog and patch in a layer of glass on the outside, fair and paint. Simple to do, difficult to do so as not to be visible when all is done.</p>

<address>Another way is to push the fibers back into place as well as possible and sand the ply wood back a wee bit (1/32") and epoxy in a layer of 1208 (!708 is ok and easier to find) inside and out, fair and paint. easier, stronger, slightly heavier , easier to end up with an invisible repair.</address>
