Side job

A few months ago a friend asked me to look at his boat.  Said the mast was pumping and has water in the bow section.  He thought the mast support  has broken.   Finally went to Chestertown and got the boat.  I cut the foredeck off the boat with a oscillating tool.    What I found was all the original resourceanal glue had failed and all the supports were loose and moving around.  Also the deck beam was crushed.  So... the job is to reglue all the parts and repair the deck beam.
 
                                                             This is what I started with







 This is the deck beam.  Pix has it upside down but you can see how compressed it was.
