Just bought a 1967, wood built, Merlin Rocket. Generally, the hull is in great condition. However, a small area of the plywood bow decking (6inch diameter circle approx.) has delaminated, blistered and split. Does anyone have a repair solution and or a method of preventing the problem from getting any worse? Unfortunately, owing to perceived cost, I doubt that I can afford to replace the plywood.

Best way to appy pressure is make up two pads of plywood an coat with vasaline (stops the expoxy sticking and clamp to the area, if yo can't clamp, then bolt through the pads and ply wood with thin bolts and big washers, you will of course need to fill the holes after, not so nice (but may be acceptable if you get the colur close )on a varnished deck but fine on a painted area.
