Ripped Out Mooring Cleats

folks,

I have seen a 380 S2 where the previous owner obviously had some problems mooring the boat. I guess many consider the original cleats and especially the washers under the cleats undersized but this I had not expected:

Several cleats have been ripped straight out of the hull, leaving different levels of damage to the deck / hull structure. The stern and mid cleats seem to have separated fairly easily, the dinghy cleats have taken quite a chunk gelcoat with them.
But the worst und my prime concern is the bow cleat where a letter sized piece of the deck / hull structure has been lost, which includes the section with the hull-deck join.

The damage has been repaired by the sort professionals who use silicone for bedding the cleats...

Obviously this repair is not strucutrally sound, the area shows significant cracks around the cleats again. My guess is they put one layer of fiberglass under the hole, and added filler and gelcoat.


I am interested in knowing if other people have experienced the same issue and if / how they achieved a structurally sound repair.

Thanks,
rabbi
