Rob, thank you for the design information; this benefits all of us; including me as well as the owner who had the issue; my boat has the tie-downs, and although I knew they stiffened the deck, I have often wondered about how they came to be placed where they are...please add information like this at anytime you wish-it is appreciated!

All of the boats did that until we learned on the C&C 40, that the loads and twisting was too much. So, on the Mk III 35 we started to tab the bulkheads to the deck. This results in a much better structure (tighter forestay) but made the assembly procedure considerably more complex and expensive. This became the policy on all of the larger boats from then on. I think the new 33 has tabbed bulkheads but my memory isn’t perfect . . . . . Rob Ball.
