Been looking for a while saw one for sale for 800 it was entirely freshwater only although it was morning. It looks to be in good shape but when I looked underneath there was a massive hole crack right before the centerboard I asked what that was he said oh it’s just the gelcoat didn’t seem to be any leaking but could’ve dried out this whole doesn’t seem like nothing does it ???

I passed it was to rough looking. plus he painted the mast black it was ugly. but for my own future knowledge. is that repairable at reasonable price? I can't see anyway that that size of a hole doesn't end in water in the hull.
Depends on who does the work. Fiberglass is easy actually. If you screw up, grind/sand it back down and begin again.
I had a early DS 1. If that is the forward end it was right to pass. The CB trunk is glass and I would say someone sailed into something solid and stopped. Sure, all fiberglass is fixable, but that CB trunk where it meets the hull is awful to work on and it a high stress area. Without good glass work your board will jam and you cannot get inside the trunk. Does it have a handle to raise and lower board? Is it less then ?500 with trailer? If we are talking real cheap then maybe, but that’s a project
