Default Stringer delamination?

I just finished winterizing. As I was pulling the port battery I tapped the stringer and found the glass is loose from the wood for about six feet. Is there any such thing as an easy repair or should I just start parting out the boat.

Duct tape it down, and repaint the bilge. Then list it on Ebay!

Fixing is NEVER easy.

But it can be fixed .

Did it justcome off or is the wood rotten ?

If it just delamed then cut it of grind the wood and reclass, overlap on each side (about 6 ") and repaint with gelcoat .

Havn't opened it up yet. It feels solid behind. Problem is about 50% of it is going to be a real pain in the ass to get to without some major boat taking apart.
