I thought about suggesting Paul however Dan seems to be a DIYer. Paul
can certainly provide good advice if you have any questions Dan.
Mike, my brother was racing on that J120 when the bow sprit let go under
load and blew back through the bulkhead.....ugly!

Hi Dan
You may wish to contact Paul Gallant of Gallant Marine Services. He
lives in Spinnaker Arms area very near you. Last off season he
replaced a similar bulkhead in a J120 that separates the anchor locker
from the vee berth. He may be willing to take a look and provide
advice. This is Paul’s specialty. Contact me off list and I can give
you Paul’s number

On Breakaweigh I discovered my forward bulkhead holding the chain
plate for the headstay was constructed using a plywood core and
had been modified over the years. Of course no one thought to
isolate the core in there when drain holes were drilled and such
and now the core material inside the bulkhead is nearly
disintegrated or rotten. There is a front and back fiberglass
layer, each about 1/4" thick and are well tabbed into the hull.
This rot is making me damn nervous and my gut is telling me to cut
into the exposed side, remove the rot, clean it up, sand, etc. and
re-bed in something stronger than wood, then re-glass and re-tab
it into the hull.
Before I try anything like that I'm just wondering if cutting then
re-glassing one side of these original hull tabs is a bad idea?
will the new tabs be strong enough to support the re-inforced
bulkhead? (using good quality glass and epoxy)
Thanks guys,
Dan
