[quote=catmodding]Pete,

No stringers whatsoever, just a thin under-deck, balsa ( grain vertical ) 
and a epoxied deck with gelcoat. About 2 centimeters thick.
In the bottom of the hulls a tempex foam block.
Around the rear portholes theres som minor delam. Gonna take care 
of that next season. 
Removing front or rear-deck is do-able, depending on your space for 
working on the cat.
The injection-method is something for next season, never have done that.
Season is closing overhere, just wanna sail this T before that.

Great job documenting the repair. Did you have any stringers under the rotten foredeck when you remove it?
How thick was the deck that you removed?  Like Edchris mentioned, mine has stringers about 16 inches apart and a 1/4 inch plywood deck. My plywood stringers have started to delaminate and I am thinking about drilling into them from the top,injecting epoxy, and then using stainless screws to  pull them back together.
Any other ideas would be appreciated. Do not want to remove the decks if at all possible.
