Cracks in main hull due to centerboard presion

[Tuca]

I have observed that there are some cracks under the door from main cabin to bathroom. See attached pictures.

Also when sailing upwind with center board down the starboard side of the centerboard box, near the floor of main cabin, is moving. That is what have generated the cracks.

I want to repair it before the center board can generate a crack in the centerboard box and have water in the interior.

Question is if anybody available some technical drawing where I can see how are build the reinforcements of the centerboard box, or some suggestion, that can help with the repair?

Thank you very much in advanced,

This is a severe damage. Did you ever run aground sideways?
To repair it properly it needs reinforcements rectangular to the box. My advice go to a well renowned boatbuilder and ask for a quote. It will be expensive to repair, but then you will be on the safe side.
