repair complete. couldn't quite match non-skid, but... its the strongest of all on the boat.
All around I did peel off the the vinyl liner from the overhead liner, as I had to clean out all the mouse detritus. But I also cut access for the stanchion bolts/nuts, as well as wiring at various points. I cut luan plywood to fit the curves and attached with white nylon bolts, machine thread, tapped into the overhead glass. It is now easy to access wiring or stanchion blots.
Winner, All Boat Handicap race. Hey, who said O'Days were slow???
This is how I handled the the cut away to repair or re-inforce stanchion base problems. Only a critical eye really notices or cares. I did not want to put new hull liner in, as most of mine is OK. Besides, I'm not keen on vinyl gas-off.

Cut out and underside of repair of ripped out stanchion.
New bulkheads. Mahogany trimmed with white ash. Lower half edges were sealed against water intrusion with epoxy in 2" margin. Also done at chainplate attachment area. Forward bulkheads have a 6 coat varnish edge trim. That starboard foward bulkhead is cut lower on the horizontal edge, so now one can sit on the corner of the bunk. Cushions are original, somehow they escaped serious mouse damage.
Golden Road at mooring, Stonington Harbor August 22, 2013. The bottom was done in Pettit Vivid white. Yes its expensive, but I did 2 coats with just a half gallon. The topsides and cabin were all wet sanded heavily with progessively finer paper, compounded in 2 stages, then waxed. The blue boot top done twice over.
