This year I bought a '79 O'day 22 of which I knew a lot of work needed to be done. What I didn't know, but I do now, was that leakage was a bigger problem than expected. Especially the cabin roof and the deck I suspect. Regarding the overall state of the boat I decided to take everything off the deck this winter and do a profound repair, also to the fiberglass were needed.One of the previous owners did all kinds of repairs, but every job has been done as bad as possible. For example, one of the genoa rails has obviously been pulled out the deck, broke and been placed back in parts on a poorly repaired deck (...)I would like to get in touch with anyone that has experience with renovating an O'day 22, especially fiber glass repairs, and can share any information with me about this issue.A few topics:- What do I do at places that can't be approached from the inside?- Can I remove, for example, the toe rails and screws, repair the holes and glue instead of screw the new ones (less vulnerable?)- Can I move the winches backwards (appr. 10 inches)?- What is the best way to renovate the rudder?I'm looking forward to any input!Thanks in advance!Laurens MorelRotterdam, The Netherlandslmorel@wxs.nl
