Hull repairs

I had removed some external repairs whilst getting rid of the old keelstrip. There were two places that needed some repair work and I decided that it would be neater to do it internally, reaching through the hatches. This made it a bit tricky to get a neat finish, so I was glad that the repairs won't be visible to anyone else!
I did the repairs with some woven glass and polyester gelcoat (with styrene wax to allow it to set in air - "Resin B" from Scott-Bader). This may be cheating a bit but I had the materials to hand and it gave me a quick and easy repair.
