Ok so now that I know that new tabbing onto bare glass with epoxy is ok as long as I grind it first - it will be strong enough. I was planning to go with plywood, isolating the bolts and access holes with solid glass so it doesn’t get wet again. (I’ll look into FRP. Carbon Fiber would be amazing.)Also I was planning to add a 1/2 in. Drain hole at the bottom. Once the headstay is removed I’m going to completely disassemble the chainplate and inspect it (installed in 2002)- I have to in order to do the work. The rusty looking area is just staining- the SS will shine with some scrubbing. Thanks guys! I’ll probably record the whole job and post it to my YouTube channel.

I can see five (5) bolts in the chain plate....top 2 look, bottom 2 not good, middle one not sure. I would definitely cut out the rot and re-glass....question is, are you going to remove the chain plate? Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32- #277 Halifax, N.S.

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 Breakaweigh C&C44 Halifax, NS _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
