I haven't had time nor inclination (shamefully admitted) to get to the picture posting stage, yet.
The break is just forward of the 'tuck-under' trailing edge and is straight up vertical. Clean break with a bit of thread feathering resulting in two pieces.
Nasty thing, that.
I pretty much have decided to give it a go and attempt to repair the thing with car parts kit stuff. That should do it, right??
How was the fairing made/what's the fairing layup? In other words, was it made with polyester resin, vinyl ester resin or epoxy resin? If you don't know, I'd recommend an epoxy repair:
'Car parts stuff' (the small kits sold in auto parts stores) usually contain polyester resin...this sticks well to other polyester parts, but not always well to epoxy.
Epoxy will stick well to other composites (including polyester layups). Might cost a bit more, but it's good stuff.
If you only need a small repair you can buy a repair kit from West System (101 series repair pack)... go to http://www.westsystem.com/ click on product info and scroll down to see the repair pack info. These are available from many marine stores including West Marine. Prices start at about $13.
