Hi everybody,

I have just bought a very old Dart 15 (a Spark). The boat is mostly in great condition, but it has a large area on the inside of the starboard hull near the bow that deflects in by about 1/4 inch when pressed gently. I think that the hull has delaminated and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. My intention is to inject epoxy resin into the void - does anyone have any alternative suggestions? Also am I correct in thinking that the skin of the Dart is solid fibreglass, not foam sandwich?

Thanks for your help!
