[Rhodes22-list] Inner Shroud Issues

[Matt Wilson]

Thanks Todd for your help and diagram.  How many more sails till this pulls
apart?  ;)

Can I get by by attaching two metal plates above and below the deck after
resealing to keep moisture out or is it too compromised already? the plates
would the fiberglass mess.  I am just a casual lake sailor so I'm not sure
how much I want to get into this kind of project.

Have you or anyone else on the list done this repair?  I'm a total newbie
to this kind of project.
