wow - this is work. Bulkhead, port delamination and sanding, sanding, sanding

I spent another 4 hours tonight sanding down fiberglass and removing any delaminated glass and it doesn't seem to be looking any better. The berth is out, the bulkhead has been removed and the problem we thought was big is a little bigger.

We're not pros here. We're just trying to figure this one out.

After all of the sanding, it looks like the stand the boat was on has caused a lot more damage than we thought - it's delaminated all the way through and has actually made a nice square imprint on the damaged area. It looks like we'll be at this for a while yet.

How cold can you work with fiberglass? We want to get this done this season, but the fix keeps getting bigger. Any tips & encouragement are welcome.

At least Jude has cut a new bulkhead and it looks pretty excellent.
Jude's got a real talent for wood.
