I am going to reseal the hull and deck joint this year on my 25 ft 1978 challenger sailboat. I have yet to take off the rub rail to see what condition it is in. But I am getting water leakage from the joint in various spots. Because of the boats internal lining I can seal it from the inside.
My question is what is the best way to do this? I was thinking of using a 4 inch wide fiberglass strip and classing the two joints together. But I am wondering if the flexing of the hull might crack the patch. Would I be better off using a flexible compound?
