Hey Rambo, nice pics of inside the canoe. Mine has never busted that extensively that I needed to penetrate the hull. It's good to see what goes on in there. I'm looking forward to more pics as the project progresses.

Agree. Good blog, Rambo. Thanks for posting your repair efforts. This may be the first time many paddlers have actually seen the inside of a OC-1. Sorry you had the need to undertake repair, but your posts may help the rest of us. Hope all goes well and you're back on your Hurricane soon.

Rambo,
Sorry to see the canoe damage: A blessing you were not hurt. Being in the water that long around here would be the end. The pics of the canoe's interior are fascinating. Not that I want to start yet another boat thread but one advantage of stow hatches is it allows some easy access to the canoe's innards.
Cheers and stay safe

Rambo,
Sorry about the canoe.
I did notice the absence of a stringer in the photos. I couldn't see under the seat portion but I assume that there was a stringer under the seat. If there wasa stringer or if the stringer ran from the front all the way to the back, would you have experience the same type of damage?

Snarf, the red coloured support in the photo is hi density foam under the back of the seat area. There are others like that further up the hull, but no stringer that i know of. I suspect that there maybe a small foam support running parrallel to the hull from the foam that you can see and finishing at the front of the cockpit. I will insert bullet cam up there before i close the hull and upload the video here.
Thank you all for the best wishes, while interesting to see the repairs, i hope you blokes don't ever have to go through the same thing. But if you do, then this may help.
Heavywater, thanks for the PDF, single carbon thickness over foamcore is very hard to repair, it's so hard to create a thin scarf without thinning the carbon fabric too much.
Cheers Rambo
