Project Seahorse: E9 Repairing the Hull-To -Deck Joint

Project Seahorse: Restoring a 1974 O'day Mariner 19 Sailboat, Episode 9

The second part of the Hull-to-Deck Joint Repair series. In this episode, I layup fiberglass along the interior of the boat. See episode 8 for the extensive preparation process. Stay tuned for a third part on the exterior repair which includes the flange. Overall, this has been the most time-consuming of all of the projects.


The Mariner 19 has a large following of many owners, an active forum with repair and restoration information, and plenty of parts still available. These boats are still manufactured today by Stuart Marine. You can visit www.usmariner.org to check out the Mariner Class Association and learn more about Mariners!
