Hi Rebecca
Jo Line at the
boat repair centre has done a few repairs for me in the past - and they have alwys come back 'invisible. Its a bit of trek to Junction 21 on the M5 though.
Following on from Alistair's comment - remember the gelcoat is only a cosmetic layer. The hardest bit about gel coat repairs is matching the colour - particularly white.
To get sailing you only need to repair any damage to the substrate with epoxy or polyester resin (to match whatever your Wayfarer is made of) and possibly some cloth, and some peel ply on top. Sand it smooth after it has cured and then you can go sailing and get it fixed permanently during the winter months.
If it is just cracked/scuffed/dented gel coat then follow the instructions in the video and you can usually sort it out with a couple of hours of work spread over 2 or 3 evenings. There are places online that will supply coloured gelcoat if you know the RAL number for your boat hull colour. The use of peel ply after put the gel coat on saves an amazing amount of time.
I can supply you with a bit of reinforcing cloth and peel ply if you want to tackle the temporaray repair yourself
