Bach,
Good repair advice, but I consult with the manufacturer before attempting this repair. Yes, the bow is far forward, but if you notice in the pictures there is a bulkhead right at the break that carries the bridle wire loads, and those can be quite substantial.
Mystere 6.0

The shape of the mystere bow create loads that caused this to happen before(kiwi Chris did this during a Hogsbreath 100). plus add the loads from tthe spin bridle. If you could glass in some horizontal stringers(trianglular in form, foam wrapped in glass) thru the bulkhead and anchore to the hull or all the way back to the next bulk head(there are about 7 bulkheads in a mystere hull) you could support the bow being reattached.
