There isn't a simple answer to this. If you are a beginner to fibreglass
and building a Europa, you really need an expert to look at the problem
and to guide you, otherwise you risk doing unnecessary work and possibly
serious damage. Where are you. The Europa Club may be able to put you in
touch with a local builder or expert. Otherwise I would suggest looking
for a firm which repairs gliders, as they should have the relevant
expertise.
