Another option which works great on fiberglass is a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder using a thin fiber disk for cutting steel.  Lots of dust.

I used a sawzall with fine hacksaw blade.  Drill the 4 corners first with a drill diameter  to match the radius of the corners.

Wich tool is best suited to cut the kevlar hull of the L28? I need to cut a hole in my port cockpit seat to install a Lewmar window.
Thanks
