Hey me and my crew flipped our boat today and when we came down we snapped a starboard hull. i was wondering if anyone knows if its worth trying to repair or if i should just try and find a hull in a boatyard. if you have any info about this topic please help. Thanks

Difficult to determine without pictures - but it is probably not cost efficient to repair the damage.
In a way I suspect that the hull might have been soft before the incident. IMHO normal use, and this includes capsizing and occasional pitchpoling, should not result in snapping of hulls. Check if the intact hull has soft spots or symptoms of delamination.
