Strip: Repairing delamination

My mother's strip canoe had a scratch through the epoxy and glass. Water penetrated and delaminated a 3" by 18" area on both sides.

Is there any way of repairing the damage without removing the glass on both sides? I was thinking of using a vacuum pump to dry out the area and then injecting epoxy to rebond the cedar to the existing epoxy.
