Need info/reference sources for composite boat repair

I just got a C1 race boat that has 3 cracks under the cockpit. Impact damage is what it looks like. Also the side seam on the last 18 inches to the left stern is duct taped so I'm assuming it leaks there. Does anyone have advice on how to do the repair or sources for books, websites, ect on the subject. I'm guessing the boat is made by "Concept" and the model is the "Rage" as these are the only graphics on the boat. Does anyone have info on this boat? Thanks, Jim Norton

No info on the boat, but...

If you click on "repair" on the left hand side it will get you started. You'll find quite a bit of information using the search feature of the site as well. Charlie Walbridge has a great book on boat building / repair, and John Sweet can provide materials and information (link from home page of CBoats).
