fibreglassing work advice

hi everyone,
my brother and i have just purchased a 15 foot sol cat. the boat's been rebuilt but the hulls still need some fibreglass repairing as this was not attended to by the previous owner. we are looking for a bit of advice on fibreglassing work and how it is done properly. there are only a few minor cracks which need work but we want to do the job properly and any help or advice is much appreciated.

if someone can lead us in the direction of a tutorial as well if there is one????

thanks for all your help guys

Justin and Tim

"The Complete Book Of Laser Sailing" by Tillman has a good chapter on fibreglass repairs.

I know that your boat isn't a laser but www.drlaser.com has several good articles on boat repair under the maintinance and fitness section
