Salvaged 2 bits of chine from SALLY to make a blind backer patch and a chine shaper patch. The string will be used to pull the backer patch snug against the inside of the hull.
Coated the backer patch with THIXO, inserted it into hull, pulled snug, added more THIXO to make a "plug," and draped some poly to keep the shaper chine piece from becoming a permanent part of the boat.
Used a calibrated 2x4 and PHOENIX's bow line to bring the side plank back to vertical, and hold the outer chine shaper. Pulled strings tight to snug up the backer patch and engineered a fine system to tie those strings off with deck screws and a paint stick. About 5 hands was needed for this mess, only 2 were available.
Temp 55F in the Carriage House with space heater running, so it will take 2-3 days for this to harden to the point where it can be sanded.
