I need your opinion on how to repair the fiberglass on a Capri 25.
6" crushed glass along rail, bent T-Track. Is the Capri Hull / Deck
fastened with the track. There are no Rails on this boat.



Any information would be helpfull.

It looks like you failed to follow the big boat rule. That must have been a scary start. There are several very qualified people who will help you with ideas on how to make your repairs. You may want to confirm the joint method through Catalina Yachts. People say the best way to contact them is by phone. All of our boats are old enough that I would guess you are looking for strength rather than beauty?

Chris,
If you haven't already, try the search feature. Select subject only, as it times out if you use the "entire article" selection.
I did a quick search and came up with this:

and this:

I also bought the West System books from West Marine on the recommendation of someone here and found them very thorough. Don Casey also has a couple of books you might want to get.
