Seeking Advice on Repairing a Leaky Ship Hull

[walterkeith]

Hi everyone,

I’m dealing with a persistent leak in the hull of my sailboat and could use some expert advice.

The leak seems to be coming from a section near the bow, and I've already tried patching it with a standard epoxy, but it didn’t hold.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? What materials or methods worked best for you?

I’m considering using fiberglass for a more durable solution but am unsure about the application process.

Any tips or recommendations on materials, techniques, or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Try laminating some fine fibreglass matting and resin over the exterior surface of the hull. Then sandpaper and repaint the hull.
