Just some imagery of my first attempt at proper whaler hull repair, my rail broke through the glass at the back starboard side.

filled with "mash"

layers of cloth cut for the repair (ended up using 8 layers, total)

cloth layers clamped in place

After removing clamps, repair dried.
Still waiting on my gel coat from Spectrum color, will be sanding the repair down and re-geling it in the next few weeks
