I have a rotted spot on the top gunnel rail by the rear cleats.i was wondering how hard it is repair?I’m  new to aquasport boats and fiberglass work

We'd need to see some pics but nothing is hard to fix with fiberglass.
If you want to post a pic when you talk about your boat, which you should, follow the instructions here http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=12725.0  - don't attach them - you are limited by file size. Uploading them into your "member gallery" is better for viewing.
Spend a few minutes to absorb the instructions. It's really easy. Remember if using a phone to take pics, to hold the phone horizontal with the lens to the left.

Maybe another avenue would be if you have any teak wood on the boat,  your by far easiest way would be to cover the bad area with another similar looking piece of teak. Make it over sized then glue and screw it, and call it a day. Heck do both sides of the boat with matching pieces and maybe pieces where you come aboard and step on the gunnel too.

One thing you could do is go to You tube, watch Andy at Boatworks videos on fiberglass repair
My 19.6 has so many holes it looks like somebody unloaded a box of 00 buckshot into it, His videos are entertaining and informative.
